ftp_rawlist

Example 371. Get extra file information

// This script will get a directory listing and display
// it in a nicely-formatted table, providing your FTP server
// returns strings in this format:
// -rwx------ 1 user group 1234 Mar 15 19:31 file name.ext

// Define our configuration variables
$ftp_server = "my.ftp.server";
$ftp_username = "username";
$ftp_password = "password";
$dir = "/pub";

// Connect to the server and log in
$ftpStream = ftp_connect($ftp_server)
   or die("Could not connect to FTP server.");
$loginResult = ftp_login($ftpStream, $ftp_username, $ftp_password)
   or die("Could not log in to FTP server.");

// The regex that splits up the array elements consists
// of 8 sets of multiple non-spaces followed by
// multiple spaces, followed by everything else on
// the line (i.e., the filename).  Regex elements
// in () will be stored, using the ereg() call below
$regex = "^([^ ]+) +[^ ]+ +([^ ]+) +([^ ]+) +";
$regex .= "([^ ]+) +([^ ]+ +[^ ]+ +[^ ]+) +(.+)$";

// Get the array of files
$files_array = ftp_rawlist($ftpStream, $dir);

// Throw away the initial "total 12345" line
// You may not need this line; experiment!
each ($files_array);

// Print out the page and table headers
print "<h1 align=\"center\">Files in directory '$dir' on '$ftp_server'</h1>\n";
print "<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" ";
print "cellpadding=\"2\" align=\"center\">";
print "<tr><th>Filename</th><th>Timestamp</th>";
print "<th>Size (bytes)</th><th>User</th><th>Group</th>";
print "<th>Permissions</th>\n";

// Loop through each of the files
// You can use foreach instead of while in PHP4
for ($i=0; $i < count($files_array); $i++) {
   // Just for diagnostics
   //print "$files_array[$i]<br>\n";

   // Alternate colors
   if ($i % 2 == 0)
      $bgcolor = "bgcolor=\"#6699cc\"";
   else
      $bgcolor = "bgcolor=\"#9999ff\"";

   // Split up each of the lines and store the segments
   // in $file_info
   ereg($regex, $files_array[$i], $file_info);

   // Finally, print out the table row containing our data
   print "<tr><td $bgcolor>$file_info[6]</td>";
   print "<td $bgcolor>$file_info[5]</td>";
   print "<td $bgcolor>$file_info[4]</td>";
   print "<td $bgcolor>$file_info[2]</td>";
   print "<td $bgcolor>$file_info[3]</td>";
   print "<td $bgcolor>$file_info[1]</td>";
   print "</tr>\n";
}

// If you have to ask what these do... :)
print "</table>";
ftp_quit($ftpStream);
