note 50252 added to ref.zip

If (as me) all you wanted to do is store a big string (for example, a serialized array or the like) in a mysql BLOB field, remember that mysql has a COMPRESS() and UNCOMPRESS() pair of functions that do exactly that. Compression/decompression is therefore available also when accessing the DB from other languages like java, etc. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.zip.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50252 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50252&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50252&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50252&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50252&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50252&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50252&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
