Parameter: This function accepts three parameters as mentioned above and described below:
- $ftp_connection: It is required parameter. It specifies the FTP connection to which to login.
- $ftp_username: It is required parameter. It specifies the username for the FTP Connection.
- $ftp_userpass: It is required parameter. It specifies the password for the user of that FTP connection.

Below programs illustrate the ftp_login() function in PHP:
Example 1:
<?php
$ftp_server = "localhost" ;
$ftp_username = "user" ;
$ftp_userpass = "user" ;
$ftp_connection = ftp_connect( $ftp_server )
or die ( "Could not connect to $ftp_server" );
if ( $ftp_connection ) {
echo "Successfully connected to the ftp server!" ;
$login = ftp_login( $ftp_connection , $ftp_username , $ftp_userpass );
if ( $login ) {
echo "<br>Logged in successfully!" ;
}
else {
echo "<br>Login failed!" ;
}
ftp_close( $ftp_connection );
}
?>
|
Output:
Successfully connected to the ftp server!
Logged in successfully!
Example 2: Connect to ftp server using port 21.
<?php
$ftp_server = "localhost" ;
$ftp_username = "user" ;
$ftp_userpass = "user" ;
$ftp_connection = ftp_connect( $ftp_server , 21)
or die ( "Could not connect to $ftp_server" );
if ( $ftp_connection ) {
echo "Successfully connected to the ftp server!" ;
$login = ftp_login( $ftp_connection , $ftp_username , $ftp_userpass );
