#31162 [Bgs]: Error on opening downloaded multi html docs

ID: 31162 User updated by: lawrence at f-deans dot freeserve dot co dot uk Reported By: lawrence at f-deans dot freeserve dot co dot uk Status: Bogus Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: I've re-checked the download and found that the file downloaded from some mirrors is actually php_manual_en.tar.tar note the *.tar.tar extension. This file is the one that will not open. The URL is http://uk.php.net/get/php_manual_en.tar.gz/from/a/mirror Try downloading from the mirror servers uk.php.net, uk2.php.net or am.php.net to name just a few. I have discovered that some mirrors do actually have the correct file and I have now downloaded and extracted this with no problem. However there are many mirrors with what appears to be the incorrect and unusable file. Thank you for your assistance. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-18 03:43:01] jed@php.net I cannot reproduce this. Please check the MD5 of your downloaded copy of php_manual_en.tar.gz by running the following: > php -r "print md5('php_manual_en.tar.gz');" You should have: 56eaee63b32b21e4170c7647a4c4064d If this is not what you have, there's a problem between you and the Web site, or your computer is modifying downloads. Sorry you are experiencing this trouble. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-17 22:47:40] lawrence at f-deans dot freeserve dot co dot uk Description: ------------ I downloaded the php_manual_en.tar.gz doc file (many html version) from various mirrors. The file appears corrupt and I am unable to open it with various zip file programs including winzip 8 and winrar. The file is full size after downloading but gives an error on opening and the contents are unavailable.
