#31025 [Bgs->Opn]: Unclear summaries between the 4 gz-foo functions

ID: 31025 User updated by: php at atu dot cjb dot net Reported By: php at atu dot cjb dot net -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: I don't think you noticed what I was talking about. I am not saying the documentation for these functions is way off or anything like that. All I am saying is that there are two pairs of functions here, and their summary lines do not match up. The summaries for gzdeflate and gzinflate are a match: Deflate, then inflate. But for gzcompress and gzuncompress the summaries are not a match: Compress a string, then uncompress a deflated string. There is no mention of deflating the string in the summary for gzcompress. All I am asking for is to make these two pairs of functions have summaries that match with the other. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-10 19:45:00] nlopess@php.net The difference is clearly stated in the manual. gzencode() includes the gzip headers, while gzcompress don't. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-08 20:34:03] php at atu dot cjb dot net Description: ------------ These two make sense: gzdeflate -- Deflate a string gzinflate -- Inflate a deflated string These two do not: gzcompress -- Compress a string gzuncompress -- Uncompress a deflated string I don't know the internal of these functions well enough to say which way would be correct, but the way it is now is clearly not accurate. Both of them say it is acting on a deflated string, however gzcompress() does not say it creates a deflated string. Any clarity would be nice. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31025&edit=1
