hey guys......
i am trying to connect to my WAMP server named localhost by ftp_connect();

  $conn_id=ftp_connect('localhost');
  if(!conn_id)
  echo "error in connection";
 else
   echo "connected";
  

but its displaying "error in connection"
i tried to use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost and i also turned on the ftp server facilities of windows but nothing is happening.....
any help is highly appreciated

Hi mshadow,

I dont have much experience with php ftp connections, but I have spotted an error in your code

 $conn_id=ftp_connect('localhost');
 //if(!conn_id) you have forgotten to put the $ in. it should be
   if(!$conn_id)
 echo "error in connection";
else
  echo "connected";

Assuming you have a FTP server set up correctly I see no reason it wouldn't work, but I could be missing something.
Also you didn't specify a port for your connection. This shouldn't matter as the default is port 21, which is correct assuming you didn't change it when setting up your ftp server.

Let me know if it works for you

Are you sure that the FTP server is running properly? Have you tried connecting to it with a FTP client, like FileZilla?

There is nothing wrong with the code you posted. If the FTP server is really running on localhost, using port 21, then you should be connected. The error must be on the other end, with the FTP server.

I'm sorry that didn't work for you, I love an easy fix
If you can give more details about your setup it might help. I have setup windows FTP server on my laptop and that code works for me (windows 7, PHP 5.3). Try filezilla like Atli said and post back.
ENJOY:)

WAMP doesn't have an FTP Server included, have you installed one in addition? If not, it's obviously not going to work.

You should install something like the Filezilla Server, which will give you FTP Server abilities. You can also watch the logs whilst you're debugging your PHP to see if any connections get through to the server.
