upload file to ftp with html-form and php ?

hi!

I was wondering how to upload a file with a form in a html file and calling a php on post.

I found this link on ftp connection
URL

But when I try it I get "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ftp_connect()". According to the site I must install that on install. Are they meaning on my web browsing computer, or on my ftp? I don't have that kind of access to the ftp, trying to put up stuff on my school account...

My html form is
I'm using a "<input type="file" name="file" />" for file browsing input on the html form

I'm kinda stuck on the PHP side since I'm new to PHP...

they mean you have to install that on the server and compile it into php, you would have to be the server admin

try cURL or fopen those can both do an ftp upload
