Are the in built FTP functions of PHP secure and reliable? Should I use cURL to access the http/https cPanels? Are the cheaper SSL certificates reliable? Should I flush() the FTP messages? Any other advice?
Are the in built FTP functions of PHP secure and reliable? >> Yes they are, but is your coding to? Should I use cURL to access the http/https cPanels? >> Yes you should, its more easy than using fopen! Are the cheaper SSL certificates reliable? >> I have no idea, but you can create your own SSL certificates these days! Should I flush() the FTP messages? >> You can, but you donot have to!
Thanks Eric! I have one more question though. Configuration files: Should I just write them using fopen, upload and delete. Of course in a directory outside of public_html
