ftp_nb_get
Retrieves a file from the FTP server and writes it to a local file (non-blocking)
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)
int ftp_nb_get ( resource ftp_stream, string local_file, string remote_file, int mode [, int resumepos] )
ftp_nb_get() retrieves a remote file from the FTP server, and saves it into a local file.
The difference between this function and ftp_get() is that this function retrieves the file asynchronously, so your program can perform other operations while the file is being downloaded.
Parameters
- ftp_stream
The link identifier of the FTP connection.
- local_file
The local file path (will be overwritten if the file already exists).
- remote_file
The remote file path.
- mode
The transfer mode. Must be either
FTP_ASCIIorFTP_BINARY.- resumepos
Examples
Example 734. ftp_nb_get() example
<?php
// Initate the download
$ret = ftp_nb_get($my_connection, "test", "README", FTP_BINARY);
while ($ret == FTP_MOREDATA) {
// Do whatever you want
echo ".";
// Continue downloading...
$ret = ftp_nb_continue($my_connection);
}
if ($ret != FTP_FINISHED) {
echo "There was an error downloading the file...";
exit(1);
}
?>
Example 735. Resuming a download with ftp_nb_get()
<?php
// Initate
$ret = ftp_nb_get($my_connection, "test", "README", FTP_BINARY,
filesize("test"));
// OR: $ret = ftp_nb_get($my_connection, "test", "README",
// FTP_BINARY, FTP_AUTORESUME);
while ($ret == FTP_MOREDATA) {
// Do whatever you want
echo ".";
// Continue downloading...
$ret = ftp_nb_continue($my_connection);
}
if ($ret != FTP_FINISHED) {
echo "There was an error downloading the file...";
exit(1);
}
?>
Example 736. Resuming a download at position 100 to a new file with ftp_nb_get()
<?php
// Disable Autoseek
ftp_set_option($my_connection, FTP_AUTOSEEK, false);
// Initiate
$ret = ftp_nb_get($my_connection, "newfile", "README", FTP_BINARY, 100);
while ($ret == FTP_MOREDATA) {
/* ... */
// Continue downloading...
$ret = ftp_nb_continue($my_connection);
}
?>
In the example above, newfile is 100 bytes smaller
than README on the FTP server because we started
reading at offset 100. If we didn't disable
FTP_AUTOSEEK, the first 100 bytes of
newfile would be '\0'.
