note 50692 added to function.gzcompress

postmaster at ak-dev dot com & chris at mad-teaparty dot com were both wrong : their function seem to generate a valid file but while decompressing it with pure gnu gzip program on a linux machine i always got a ugly "gunzip: catalog.xml.gz: unexpected end of file" or "gunzip: catalog.xml.gz: not in gzip format" so here is the ULTIMATE gz workaround : function gzip($data = "", $level = 6, $filename = "", $comments = "") { $flags = (empty($comment)? 0 : 16) + (empty($filename)? 0 : 8); $mtime = time(); return (pack("C1C1C1C1VC1C1", 0x1f, 0x8b, 8, $flags, $mtime, 2, 0xFF) . (empty($filename) ? "" : $filename . "\0") . (empty($comment) ? "" : $comment . "\0") . gzdeflate($data, $level) . pack("VV", crc32($data), strlen($data))); } coming straight out of the PEAR File_Archive package (http://pear.php.net/package/File_Archive) i redesign it as a single function if u don't want to use the whole PEAR class for your convenience ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gzcompress.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50692 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50692&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50692&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50692&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50692&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50692&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50692&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
