and if i use $filename = 'kunden/'.$name.'.png'; $data = fopen($filename, "r"); $contents = fread($data, filesize($filename)); fclose($data); $gzdata = gzencode($data); $fp = fopen('kunden/zip/'.$name.'.gz', "w"); fwrite($fp, $gzdata); fclose($fp); it writes in the gz file this Resource id #3 > 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.
