Example #1 ftp_nlist() example
<?php
// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
// get contents of the current directory
$contents = ftp_nlist($conn_id, ".");
// output $contents
var_dump($contents);
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(11) "public_html"
[1]=>
string(10) "public_ftp"
[2]=>
string(3) "www"
