    Calling an FTP location in PHP

    This (im hoping) is an easy problem to solve!
    Quite simply, i have a HTML login form, where users can type their
    usernames and passwords for an FTP server of mine.

    The code im using is;

    <?
    //set variables for form values of previous page to make next code
    easier.
    $user = $_POST['user'];
    $pass = $_POST['pass'];
    $login = "Location: ftp://{$user}:{$pass} @12.34.5.67/";


    header( "$login" );

    ?>

    User and Pass are boxes on the form before hand, and all works fine-
    however, the page this opens is a list of files that are inside that
    ftp location- instead of a 'folder view' that you usually get with most
    modern versions of windows. You can easily get to the folder view by
    hitting refresh when the file list shows up, but this ideally isnt what
    i want.

    So is there another method of calling that page so that it goes
    straight to folder view? Maybe opening it up in another window would
    work, but how would i do that?

    Any help would be greatfully recieved as ive only really just got into
    PHP :)
    Darren.

      No, this is something the client should modify on his/her machine by
      changing the folder options. Not PHP related...

          Well, at first, it would just load up a "page nopt found error" then
          you hit refresh and it works? Its definately something to do with the
          header function- is there any other functions available to call a page?
          preferably in a new windo or something?

              Client-side redirect: In the form action attribute call a script, call
              it for example "ftplogin.p hp"; you can use the target attribute in order
              to open a new window.

              ftplogin.php then will be something like:

              <?php
              $url = "ftp://".$_POST['user'].":".$_POST['pass']."@12.34.5.6 7/";
              ?>
              <html>
              <head>
              <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=<?php echo $url; ?>">
              </head>
              <body>
              If you are not redirected automatically click
              <a href="<?php echo $url; ?>">here!</a>
              </body>
              </html>
