In order to use FTP functions with your PHP configuration, you should add the --enable-ftp option when installing PHP.
In Autotools, the FTP SSL support is enabled implicitly when building together
with the openssl extension using the
--with-openssl configure option. When
building without openssl extension, the
--with-ftp-ssl Autotools configure option
can be used to enable the FTP SSL support explicitly.
On Windows this extension is always built as shared extension and as such has to be enabled in php.ini.
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 8.4.0 |
Autotools configure option --with-openssl-dir
has been removed in favor of the new
--with-ftp-ssl that enables the FTP
SSL support explicitly when building without the openssl
extension.

For some reason folks downvoted the previous entry for this, BUT... indeed, as of PHP 7, to enable this on Windows you have to add the line:
extension=php_ftp.dll
to your php.ini to resolve PHP errors that tell you PHP FTP functions are not defined; the line isn't in there (where, many things are and are just commented out).If you are using PHP 7 under Windows you have to enable ftp in php.ini with extension=php_ftp.dll.
