What steps can be taken if only server responses are received but not the desired file list when using the 'LIST' command in PHP?

When using the 'LIST' command in PHP to retrieve a file list from a server, if only server responses are received without the desired file list, it may indicate a parsing issue with the server response. To solve this problem, you can try parsing the server response to extract the file list data. This can be achieved by using regular expressions or string manipulation techniques to isolate the file list from the server response. 

// Connect to the FTP server
$ftp_server = 'ftp.example.com';
$ftp_user = 'username';
$ftp_pass = 'password';
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass);

// Get the server response for the 'LIST' command
$server_response = ftp_rawlist($conn_id, '.');

// Parse the server response to extract the file list
$file_list = [];
foreach ($server_response as $line) {
    // Parse each line to extract file information
    // Add the file information to the $file_list array
}

// Close the FTP connection
ftp_close($conn_id);

// Output the extracted file list
print_r($file_list);
