FTP_NLIST(3)								 1							      FTP_NLIST(3)

ftp_nlist - Returns a list of files in the given directory

SYNOPSIS

       array ftp_nlist (resource  $ftp_stream, string  $directory)

DESCRIPTION

PARAMETERS

	      o $ftp_stream
		- The link identifier of the FTP connection.

	      o $directory
		-  The directory to be listed. This parameter can also include arguments, eg. ftp_nlist($conn_id, "-la /your/dir"); Note that this

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      ftp_nlist(3) example

	      <?php

	      // set up basic connection
	      $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);

	      // login with username and password
	      $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

	      // get contents of the current directory
	      $contents = ftp_nlist($conn_id, ".");

	      // output $contents
	      var_dump($contents);

	      ?>
