working flawlessly running php from my test box in firefox, but dead when uploading to the host. At least I know where to start looking for that issue.

What do you mean by large output? Script runs through completely for smaller directories. Larger directories hang at a white browser page with no response to any code, and eventually time out. As I said, the script is working great now on my test box after changing the max_ex_time from zero to 120. Here is what I'm using code wise for a simplified test page, see anyhting out of the ordinary? I'll try flushing it when I can get it back up on firefox.

Code:

 



//$ftp_tout = 900;     // timeout
ini_set("memory_limit","50M");
ini_set("set_time_limit", "120");
ini_set("max_execution_time","120");
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$ftp_server = '67.xx.xx.xx'; 
$ftp_user_name = 'xxx'; 
$ftp_user_pass = 'xxxx'; 




$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);  


$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);  

//
//Enable PASV ( Note: must be done after ftp_login() )
//

$mode = ftp_pasv($conn_id, TRUE);



if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result) || (!$mode))  
       {  
       echo "FTP connection has failed!"; 
       echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name";  
       exit;  
       } 
else  
       { 
        echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name connection ID is $conn_id

"; 
        // change dir to music
	
	
	$dir=ftp_pwd($conn_id); 

	echo "$dir
";
	
	ftp_chdir($conn_id, "xxxxxx");
 	
	$dir=ftp_pwd($conn_id);  
        echo "$dir
";


//
//Now run ftp_nlist()
//

$file_list = ftp_nlist($conn_id, " ");
foreach ($file_list as $file)
{
echo "
$file";
}

echo"
Through for each loop";

ftp_close($conn_id);
