Dear all,

In our project we need to make use of ftp_raw to talk to a Hylafax
server using non standard FTP commands.

This can be done easily with the ftp_raw() function, but we are
constrained by our web hosting in having the PHP 4.3 branch.

Looking at CVS sources for PHP 5.0 and PHP 4.3.x it is very easy to
take the code related to the function ftp_raw from 5.0 and incorporate
it to 4.3.x in the ext/ftp directory.  After compilation ftp_raw() works
without any problems in 4.3.

I include such a patch in attachment.

We know that the 4.3.x branch is frozen and only bugfixes are accepted,
but given:

    -  The simplicity, small size and low cost of this change.
    -  The doors it would open to 4.3 users (using hylafax commands and
       probably other uses too).

  we were wondering if you could also make this change so that the Whole
World would benefit.

Regards,

	Miguel Telleria
