note 106397 added to function.gzdecode

I don't have any deep knowledge in compression algorithms and formats, so I have no idea if this works the same on all platforms. But by several experiments on my Linux box I found how to get gzdecoded data without temporary files. Here it is: function gzdecode($data) { return gzinflate(substr($data,10,-8)); } That's it. Simply strip header and footer bytes and you get raw deflated data for inflation. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 88.102.100.37 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gzdecode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/106397 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106397/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106397/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106397/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106397/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106397/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106397/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106397 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/106397 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
