How to check using PHP FTP functionality if folder exists on server or not?

Question

Is there a way to check if a a folder exists on the server using PHP Ftp functionality?

Answer 1

For PHP 5:

$folder_exists = is_dir('ftp://user:[email protected]/some/dir/path');

http://php.net/manual/en/function.is-dir.php : "As of PHP 5.0.0, this function can also be used with some URL wrappers."

http://php.net/manual/en/wrappers.ftp.php : [Support] "As of PHP 5.0.0: filesize(), filetype(), file_exists(), is_file(), and is_dir()"

Answer 2

Try this:

if (ftp_nlist($ftp_stream, $new_folder) == false) {
    ftp_mkdir($ftp_stream, $new_folder);
}

Answer 3

There is no 'exists' function for ftp connections in php.

You could try ftp_chdir and check the result
