Which manual have you been reading? These are the only official manual
entries for ftp_quit() and ftp_close():
http://php.net/ftp_quit
http://php.net/ftp_close
Both should, and they do, return a boolean value (TRUE on success or
FALSE on failure) according to your own tests (and since ftp_quit() is
an alias for ftp_close(), there shouldn't be a difference, either).

There's no way of telling, much like there's no way of telling whether
the connection to a web server was properly closed on the server side
after you've visited a website.
The only way of telling whether a connection has been terminated on the
server side, is to ask the administrator or owner of the server you're
connecting to.
