note 11510 added to gzopen

I have had some trouble trying to get the gzopen() function to open .gz files straight from a HTTP connection. here is what I had to do to get .gz files from a HTTP connection (Note that there is no error checking here..). $gzfile = fopen("www.test.com/testfile.gz", "rb"); $tempfile = fopen("temp_file.gz", "wb"); while (!feof($gzfile)) { $char = fgetc($gzfile); fputs($tempfile, $char); } fclose($tempfile); fclose($gzfile); $gzfile = gzopen("temp_file.gz", "r"); you can now use gzgets or gzread to read the .gz file. I hope this helps someone. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gzopen.php
