Re: uncompressing gz string

i had a similar problem, it seems that a .gz file had 10 bytes of header that inflate and uncompress didn't like, or something wierd like that. but i can't find the code that i had in the end. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gzinflate.php but depending on how your actually using the data, one of the 'read from the file' might serve you better http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gzread.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gzgets.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gzpassthru.php On Friday 24 October 2003 13:48, you wrote: > I don't understand why gzinflate and gzuncompress don't work? > > <?php > $gz_content = file_get_contents('hello.txt.gz'); > > echo gzinflate($gz_content); > // Warning: data error > > echo gzuncompress($gz_content); > // Warning: data error > ?> > > but if I make it from bash the content is there : > cat hello.txt.gz | gunzip > Hello!
