Re: Hoping for a working example of SFTP in PHP

David,

After debugging most of the day with very unhelpful messages from 
windows.  I decided to run it on linux which pointed me to this bug 
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79631.  It turns out that it is copying 
the file successfully, but PHP segfaults which causes apache to return a 
408 Request Timeout.  It seemed to work in the command line because 
apache wasn't throwing errors.

The answer is, to change -
unset($sftp);
to
ssh2_disconnect($sftp);

I haven't programmed many extensions, but I believe there is a way to 
tell which SAPI it is running on (cli, apache, fpm, debug, etc.).  That 
is why my head went there.

Anyway I will update the gists that I wrote to reflect this. change.
