PHP and FTP

[Johnny]

Does the FTP capability of PHP require that the server it is used on have
some kind of FTP installed or is it fully self-contained?

Thanks

That depends. What "FTP capability" are you referring to?

PHP can connect to any FTP server as a client but you need a seperate
server if you want to server files.

umm... the ftp capability of PHP:

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.ftp.php

is there more PHP FTP that I am missing?

I guess what I'm asking is does PHP use host functionality for implementing
FTP, much like you need a mail server for PHP to do mail...

So it doesn't need localhost FTP functionality then? It would work just fine
to get files from anotyher server via FTP from on a server that had say
apache but no FTP daemon?

So you know where the FTP functions are documented in the manual?
Then you should also have seen the following on that same page:

"No external libraries are needed to build this extension."

If PHP is running on server A and trying to use FTP to fetch a file from
server B, then:

B needs an FTP daemon; A does not.

FTP is not mail. You need a mail server on your system because mail is
handled asynchronously. FTP is synchronous. No server needed on the
client system.

Gee, I wonder if you could have TESTED it in the length of time it took
to stretch this thread this far along...

I'll introduce a new acronym: JFTI
(Upon further checking -- it ain't so new.)
