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).
Installation
Um die FTP-Funktionen zu verwenden, muss bei der Installation von PHP die Option --enable-ftp verwendet werden.
Unter Windows wird diese Erweiterung immer als Shared Extension kompiliert und muss daher in der php.ini aktiviert werden.

If you are using PHP 7 under Windows you have to enable ftp in php.ini with extension=php_ftp.dll.

On linux, one would enable ftp on their php7 server by uncommenting or adding the line "extension=ftp.so" in their php.ini file (likely at /etc/php/php.ini, unless the user moved it).
