Re: gzip image files

Yes, it is. the return value of fopen is a resource of type file. var_dump($data); will show that if you want to read the data use : fread($data,$buf); but I think its better with file() function. The example from the docs show a better method: <?php $data = implode("", "bigfile.txt"); $gzdata = gzencode($data, 9); $fp = fopen("bigfile.txt.gz", "w"); fwrite($fp, $gzdata); fclose($fp); ?> Regards, Andrey Hristov IcyGEN Corporation http://www.icygen.com BALANCED SOLUTIONS ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Whyman" <k.whyman@bf-72.de> To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 4:23 PM Subject: [PHP-DB] gzip image files > I create a png dynamically - store the path in mysql. > > And want to be able to offer the user a zipped version to download > Unfortunately haven't been able to get it to work up until now ! > I'm sure it's something obvious but........... > > > Open the png > $data = fopen('kunden/'.$name.'.png', "rb"); > encode it > $gzdata = gzencode($data); > where to write > $fp = fopen('kunden/zip/'.$name.'.gz', "w"); > write it > fwrite($fp, $gzdata); > fclose($fp); > > what happens is the name gets included in the gz but written to it is only > kunden/example.png > > Can anyone help ?? > > thanks in advance > regards > keith > > > -- > PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-db-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-db-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net > >
