Bug #53854 [Asn]: Missing constants for compression type.

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53854&edit=1 ID: 53854 Updated by: rquadling@php.net Reported by: rquadling@php.net Summary: Missing constants for compression type. Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: Zip Related Operating System: n/a PHP Version: 5.3SVN-2011-01-27 (SVN) Assigned To: aharvey Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I'm sorry, I don't have this anymore. I can't recall what tools I used to generate the files all the compression methods. But from what I can recall is that one can create a zip file using a modern ZIP tool that php_zip / libzip would not be able to undo. The table in http:///#1296487013 shows what I could create and what was supported at the time.

I cannot find any app that will create a ZIP file using the following compression methods. 2 : CM_REDUCE_1 3 : CM_REDUCE_2 4 : CM_REDUCE_3 5 : CM_REDUCE_4 18 : CM_TERSE 19 : CM_LZ77 I have Terse (Hercules app) and LZ77 (I think this is the Microsoft Compress format), but they do not create .ZIP files and the files magic-bytes are not zip related - so you can't just call the file a .zip file and get away with it. I've got nowhere with REDUCE. I've got a zip file and .phpt test to cover the compression methods I have found. Given what I've found so far, I'm guessing that php_zip only really supports storing and deflating/inflating. The constants for the compression methods that I've managed to test should be exposed. Those that I've not should be removed be unexposed and removed from the documentation. But I'd like to add to the docs something along the lines of "Other compression methods may exist." Richard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-28 12:27:04] pajoye@php.net Let try to keep this discussion sane...: We can keep them only if it is supported at least to read the information about an entry. For example, if an entry uses LZ77, then doing a stat/reading the info MUST return CW_LZ77. If that's not the case, then we must remove them as it makes no sense to expose them to the user. Is it more clear now? :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-28 12:11:02] rquadling@php.net Just as an aside, the error constants that ARE documented ... I can see no way to generate them. None of the methods or functions in php_zip return an error constant. Should these be removed? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-28 12:06:05] pajoye@php.net That's what I asked. We can keep them only and only if libzip detects AND uses these compression types correctly. It seems to be the case. Can you confirm it and maybe add a test per compression method? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
