uploading a file to more than one server: useing PHP's FTP function

Hi,

I want to make a quick little app to save time for something I have to do in work. I frequently have to upload a latest.gif to 4 different web servers using FTP programs. This is quite annoying so I decided I am going to try to make a PHP script that will upload the file to all 4 web servers at once from one form field and 1 submit button.

Does anyone know how I would do this?

The servers are all duplicated of each other and have the same password and username as well as paths etc.

It would be very handy if I could put this together and would be one less monotonous task for me to do every day.

Thanks in advance,
Martin

PS: This doesnt need to be too advanced, it just needs to upload the image to the 4 servers and to confirm that the upload worked.

Just make a loop that goes through each address to upload to and repeat the ftp upload to each one.
Something like this: (this is untested, written on the fly)

PHP Code:


		
			
 $addr = array('ftp_address1','ftp_address2');

$ftp_user = 'your_user_id';

$ftp_pass = 'your_pass';

$path_to_upload = '/some/path';

$filename = '/path/to/your_file_to_upload.txt';

foreach($addr as $ftp_adr) {

    $con=ftp_connect($ftp_art) or die('Unable to connect to ftp location.');

    ftp_login($con,$ftp_user,$ftp_pass) or die('Failed to logon as '.$ftp_user);

    ftp_chdir($con,$path_to_upload);

    ftp_put($con,$filename,$filename,FTP_BINARY) or die('Failed to upload file.');

    ftp_close($con);

}

What do you have so far? There are examples in the manual and it's about the same as fopen(), fwrite(), etc...

PHP Code:


		
			
 $server = array('ip1','ip2','ip3','ip4');

foreach($server as $ip)

{

  $cid = ftp_connect($ip);

  ftp_login($cid,$user,$password);

  ftp_put($cid, $dest, $source, FTP_BINARY);

  ftp_close($cid);

}
