Setup:
Windows NT4 Server with Apache 39 and PHP 4.0.5 as downloaded (big package) from PHP.NET

Situation:
phpInfo() says FTP is enabled.
ftp_connect('192.168.0.55') does not give connection handle whereas an ftp client on the same machine works perfectly. Tried all kinds of quotes, no success.

Solution:
Entered a line in local hosts lookup file to replace the IP with a literal name. Replaced the faulty line with
ftp_connect("theName")
and got the connection right away.

Whoa!  This is exactly the OPPOSITE of what I expected.
Usually in something like this, the IP works, and the name
doesn't.  I have no clue what would cause that.  Can anyone
duplicate this?

I think this is just like bug #11000. Could you test
fopen with ftp or http as well? If that works for you
I think I know how to make ftp_connect() work as well.
For more info, see what I wrote for bug #11000.
