Reopen if it's not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-06 21:56:17] epicanis+php@dogphilosophy.net This APPEARS that it may be a re-surgence of bug#12233, which was marked closed several months ago... I am getting bzcompressed strings into a script, which is then supposed to bzdecompress them and save the bzdecompressed strings to a file. What's coming out is the same sort of thing described in bug#12233 - instead of the strings I'm getting "-7-5-5-5-5"(etc.) I also tried grabbing the current CVS. I couldn't get ./buildconf to work right, but I did try copying the current files out of CVS's ext/bz2 directory over the top of 4.1.1's released files and recompiling 4.1.1 that way, but still no fix... Example (in the following example, '$fhandle' is an fopen'ed URL which is a script that opens a file and sends it as bzcompressed strings. THIS script has been tested, and works fine - I can use wget to fetch the same data and successfully bunzip2 it from the console. $savehandle is the local file that's been fopen'ed to save the bzdecompressed data to [and which is getting the "-7-5-5-5-5" in it...]) while(!feof($fhandle)) { $data=fread($fhandle,8192); $outdata=bzdecompress($data); fwrite($savehandle,$outdata); } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15418&edit=1
