Network Component can be well integrated into any development platform that supports ActiveX objects.
Step 1: Download and install the Network Component
Download Network Component from the ActiveXperts Download Site and start the installation. The installation guides you through the installation process.
Step 2: Create a HTML form
To connect to an ftp server using PHP we need to collect the login information from the user, then connect to the server and then view the content
First of all we need to collect some information from the user. Like the username, the password and of course the server we are going to connect to. Perhaps you'd like to change the directory or/and create a logfile at logon. You can make the form look like this.
Step 3: Create the Network Component object
If you wat to use Network Component Ftp in PHP, you need to create an object. In PHP this means you need to create a new COM. The following code shows how to do this.
<? //create the Network Component UDP object
$activeFtp = new com("AxNetwork.Udp");
?>
Step 4: Proces the information
Now we need to connect to the server and display the content of the server. In this sample we're working with a form. If the form is submitted, we're passing The following code shows how to do this:
<? //create the Network Component UDP object $activeFtp = new com("AxNetwork.Udp"); if(isset($_GET['method'])){ //set the logfile: $activeFtp->logfile = $_POST["logfile"]; //connect the server $activeFtp->connect($_POST["server"], $_POST["username"], $_POST["password"]); //change directory $activeFtp->ChangeDir($_POST["dir"]); //display the table in witch we are going to present our information echo "<table>"; echo " <tr>"; echo " <td colspan=1 class=header>"; echo "Size:"; echo " </td>"; echo " <td class=header>"; echo "Filename:"; echo " </td>"; echo " </tr>"; //get the firstfile (if the first file is fetched, move on to the next untill there is no next file, then an error will occure) $files = $activeFtp->FindFirstFile(); //get the errors and descriptions $error = $activeFtp->Lasterror; $description = $activeFtp->GetErrorDescription($activeFtp->Lasterror); //if the filename was successfully fetched, echo the filename and the filesize while($activeFtp->Lasterror == 0){ echo " <tr>"; echo " <td class=size>"; //check if the file is a directory if($files->isDirectory == -1){ //if the file is a directory: echo "Directory" echo "Directory"; } else{ //if the file isn't a directory, echo the filesize echo $files->size . " Bytes"; } echo " </td>"; echo " <td class=filename>"; echo $files->name . "<br>"; echo " </td>"; echo " </tr>"; //find the next file, and display it again.. $files = $activeFtp->FindNextFile; } //close the table tag echo "</table>"; echo "<br>"; //close the if statement } //create a table and display the errors that have occured echo "<table>"; echo " <tr>"; echo " <td colspan=1 class=header>"; echo "ErrorNo.:"; echo " </td>"; echo " <td class=header>"; echo "Error description:"; echo " </td>"; echo " </tr>"; echo " <tr>"; echo " <td class=size>"; echo $error; echo " </td>"; echo " <td class=filename>"; echo $description; echo " </td>"; echo " </tr>"; echo "</table>"; ?>
