I've been trying to solve this but can't find the solution, I am trying to get the contents of file from my FTP server via PHP.

$conn_id = ftp_connect("ftp.testftp.co.uk");
$ftpuser="myusername";
$ftppassword="mypassword";
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftpuser, $ftppassword);

if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) {
echo "FTP connection has failed!";
exit;
} else {
echo "Connected To FTP";
echo  nl2br ("\n");
}

$data = file_get_contents('ftp://myusername:mypassword@ftp.testftp.co.uk/test.tsv');

I get can connected to the FTP ok but can't read the file, I get the error "failed to open stream: operation failed", im not sure what I am doing wrong, any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

You establish the connection with the ftp extension and then do the actual download with stream wrappers. As a general rule, you can't mix different extensions to do one same thing. – Álvaro González Jun 08 '18 at 15:41
Ahh I see, ok so if I use ftp_get I can save the .tsv file locally but i really wanted to just read the contents of the file from the FTP server without copying locally first, is that not possible? Thanks – Scott Brown Jun 08 '18 at 16:03

file_get_contents does not work for me, i have checked the wrapper in php.ini and thats ok, I am using XAMPP would that be causing problems perhaps? – Scott Brown Jun 11 '18 at 15:37
