Php updater script

[FrozenNova]

Hi,

Looking for a simple php script that connects to an ftp server downloads "x.zip" and extracts it to the current folder, as I have begun running a fairly large proxy network and need a faster way of deploying updates that manually updating each site via ftp.

Willing to donate a few NP$s and rep.

The following should do what you want. It needs FTP and ZIP support compiled into your PHP installation.

<?php

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// START OF CONFIGURATION
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


// Set to the directory to extract archive to
$extractTo = '/home/mysite/public_html/folder/';

// Set remote FTP server
$ftp_server = 'ftp.somedomain.com';

// FTP login details:
$ftp_user_name = 'ftpuser';
$ftp_user_pass = 'ftppass';

// Name of the zip file
$filename = 'x.zip';

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// END OF CONFIGURATION
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// Connect to the FTP server
$ftp_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);

// Login to FTP server
$login_result = ftp_login($ftp_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

// Download file from the FTP server
if (ftp_get($ftp_id, $filename, $filename, FTP_BINARY))
{
    $zip = new ZipArchive;
    
    // Open the zip file
    if ($zip->open($filename))
    {
        // Extract the zip file
        $zip->extractTo($extractTo);
        
        // Close the ZIP file
        $zip->close();
        
        echo "Unzipped OK";
    }
    else
    {
        echo "Unable to unzip $filename";
    }
}
else
{
    echo "Unable to download $filename from FTP server\n";
}

// Close the FTP connection
ftp_close($ftp_id);

// Remove the zip file
@unlink($filename);

?>

recieving the following error:

Warning: ftp_get(/proxy.zip) [function.ftp-get]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/anime/public_html/update.php on line 32

Warning: ftp_get() [function.ftp-get]: Error opening /proxy.zip in /home/anime/public_html/update.php on line 32
Unable to download /proxy.zip from FTP server

The update.php file has been chmodded to "777" and cannot see why this will not work.

I guess you have this:

$filename = '/proxy.zip';

Change it to this (without leading slash):

$filename = 'proxy.zip';

Also I suggest you change the script permission to 755 (at the most). 777 could pose a security risk (depending on your server configuration).

I've tried it with and without the trailing slash, I have also rewrote the script with no avail, I can find the script I used for this before.

 

[qbert220]

What error do you get using it without the leading slash?

Try adding the following before the ftp_get to list the directory contents:

var_dump(ftp_nlist($ftp_id, "."));

and check that proxy.zip is present.

 

[FrozenNova]

proxy.zip is definatly present error can be seen at the-anime.net/update.php

 

[qbert220]

I now think the message is caused because your PHP script does not have permission to save the file. You could check this by chmod 777 on your public_html directory, then trying the script again. I would not recommend this as a long term solution, since it could pose a security risk.

Ive been playing and found a better solution I'm now running it through Shell which has solved the first problem and also means I don't have to visit each update page to deploy updates

 

[qbert220]

If you have shell access, you could run the PHP script from the shell:

$ php update.php

yea thats what im doing now but i wrote a bash script to make it even easier its just a case of typing /update now
