if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) { 
        echo "Ftp connection has failed!";
        echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $user"; 
        die; 
    } else {
        echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $user";
    }

// upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, "$destination_file", "$source_file", FTP_BINARY);

    } else {
