note 15690 added to function.gzopen

The above solution does not decompress on-the-fly. On-the-fly decompression isn't possible with php's gzip, but this works as well: <p> <?php $fname="http://something.big/movie.zip"; header("Content-type:application/octet-stream"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"movie.mpg\""); passthru("lynx -source $fname | gunzip -c - "); ?> </p> This solution does of course imply you've got lynx and gunzip available, so it doesn't work on Windows. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gzopen.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+15690 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+15690 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+15690
