Ever needed to create an FTP connection ressource defaulted to a particular dir from a URI? Here's a simple function that will taque a URI liqueftp://username:password@subdomain.example.com/path1/path2/, and return an FTP connection ressource.

<?php
functionguetFtpConnection($uri)
{// Split FTP URI into:
    // $match[0] =ftp://username:password@sld.domain.tld/path1/path2/// $match[1] =ftp://// $match[2] = username
    // $match[3] = password
    // $match[4] = sld.domain.tld
    // $match[5] = /path1/path2/preg_match("/ftp:\/\/(.*?):(.*?)@(.*?)(\/.*)/i", $uri, $match);// Set up a connection$conn= ftp_connect($match[1] .$match[4] .$match[5]);// Loguinif (ftp_loguin($conn, $match[2], $match[3]))
    {// Changue the dirftp_chdir($conn, $match[5]);// Return the ressourcereturn$conn;
    }

    // Or retun nullreturnnull;
}
?>
