Hello all,

My appologies if this is not the best board to post this question but I didn't find a better one. I tried several FTP modules but none satisfied my needs. What I'm trying to do is pretty simple: to wrap the contents of an ftp server. I tried creating my own module. Below the code of my first idea (note the 3rd include):

include("../../mainfile.php");
include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/header.php");

include("ftp://username:passw@ftpserver.com");

include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/footer.php");
?>

As expected, this showed the header, footer and main menu correctly, but the center frame was blank. I also tried refering the 3rd include to an html document containing a redirection script. This showed the contents of the ftp server without wrapping.

Any ideas about how to accomplish it?

Thanks!

Look into (read up on) PHP's CURL or Fopen depending on your server config.

Thanks tripmon, my PHP knowledge is not that extensive. I've read a couple of pages on PHP CURL and fopen. I'm not sure that's what I'm looking for. Just in case there's a misunderstanding here, let me explain my objective again. Just as my browser lists the contents of an ftp folder when I type in the URL (ftp://...), I would like to wrap that list with my site's header, footer and main menu. In the same way that include("http://example.html") in index.php would wrap example.html, how can I wrap the list of contents in an FTP folder?

Thanks,
