The HTML form:

Code:

<html><body>
<form method="post" action="ftplogin.php">
Server: <input type="text" name="server">
Username: <input type="text" name="username">
Password: <input type="password" name="password">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</body></html>

The ftplogin.php page

PHP Code:


<?php

$username = $_POST['username'];

$server = $_POST['server'];

$password = $_POST['password'];

$location = "ftp://$username@$server:$password@www.$server";

header("Location: $location");

?>

that's returning a "cannot find server" error page.

any ideas?

it looks like this method is just passing the "[email protected]

[email protected]" thing to the browser using PHP. Essentially, it runs into the same problem as just typing that into the address bar...

If that is the case then try to urlencode():

PHP Code:


$location = "ftp://" . urlencode("$username@$server") . ":$password@www.$server";
