Echo "success" after using ftp_put() - php

Question

I have a php script that sends large files via FTP. After the file is sent I'm trying to write to the browser "success". I'm also trying to send a query to the database to record that the file was sent. However, any code that I have that comes after the ftp_put does not get executed.
if (ftp_put($conn_id, $upload_filename, $filename, FTP_BINARY))
{
echo "File Sent";
echo $upload_filename." - ".date("d/m/Y H:i:s")." - ".filesize($filename)." bytes<br>" ;
}
else
{
echo "Problem while Uploading $filename\n <br/>". $upload_filename ;
}
If ftp_put is false the echo works. But, if the ftp_put is a success any code I put there will not run.
The file size I am sending is 7,305kb

Answer 1

It is likely that the problem here is that your script is timing out while the file is uploading. Try adding this line before the code above:
set_time_limit(0);

Answer 2

The thing is that ftp_put() blocks any further action until the upload is finished. Try ftp_nb_put() (no blocking) like so:
$upload = ftp_nb_put($conn_id, $upload_filename, $filename, FTP_BINARY);
if($upload == FTP_MOREDATA)
{
echo 'Uploading ' . $upload_filename . ' - ' . date("d/m/Y H:i:s") . ' - ' . filesize($filename) . ' bytes<br />';
while($upload == FTP_MOREDATA)
{
echo '.'; //Output a . to page or do whatever
$upload = ftp_nb_continue($conn_id);
}
}
//Note: While in the while above, it will either end in FTP_FINISHED or FTP_FAILED
if($upload == FTP_FAILED)
{
echo "Problem while Uploading $filename\n <br />". $upload_filename;
}
