Re: uncompressing gz string

I've had the exact same problem. I get .html.gz files uploaded to me. My script does a file_get_contents on those, and then tried to use gzinflate or gzuncompress. Neither works. Instead I use a shell command to use the 'gzip' program to do the decompression. This is a big bug that's been around a while, I'm surprised it hasn't been fixed. Regards, Adam.
