How Can I Easily Determine If A File Has been Added to a Directory

I am uploading files that need to be processed prior to uploading. I will put the files in a directory. My question is how can I write an easy process to kick off a script once a file has been added? Is there an easy way to determine if a file has been added to a directory?

Thanks

ftp_nb_put - Stores a file on the FTP server (non-blocking)

SYNOPSIS
int ftp_nb_put (resource $ftp_stream, string $remote_file, string $local_file, int $mode, [int $startpos]) DESCRIPTION
ftp_nb_put(3) stores a local file on the FTP server. The difference between this function and the ftp_put(3) is that this function uploads the file asynchronously, so your program can perform other operations while the file is being uploaded. PARAMETERS

Returns FTP_FAILED or FTP_FINISHED or FTP_MOREDATA. EXAMPLES
Example #1 ftp_nb_put(3) example <?php // Initiate the Upload $ret = ftp_nb_put($my_connection, "test.remote", "test.local", FTP_BINARY); while ($ret == FTP_MOREDATA) { // Do whatever you want echo "."; // Continue uploading... $ret = ftp_nb_continue($my_connection); } if ($ret != FTP_FINISHED) { echo "There was an error uploading the file..."; exit(1); } ?> Example #2 Resuming an upload with ftp_nb_put(3) <?php // Initiate $ret = ftp_nb_put($my_connection, "test.remote", "test.local", FTP_BINARY, ftp_size("test.remote")); // OR: $ret = ftp_nb_put($my_connection, "test.remote", "test.local", // FTP_BINARY, FTP_AUTORESUME); while ($ret == FTP_MOREDATA) { // Do whatever you want echo "."; // Continue uploading... $ret = ftp_nb_continue($my_connection); } if ($ret != FTP_FINISHED) { echo "There was an error uploading the file..."; exit(1); } ?> SEE ALSO
