[snip] is it possible with PHP to download and open a remote tar.gz file?? I read in the manual that it is, but it never seems to work for me.
I tried opening the file with fopen fopen("zlib://http://www.site.com/update.tar.gz", "r"); but it didnt work Then I tried using the zlib functions but they just returned garbage. I think it might have something to do with it not being able to handle ".tar" [/snip] See http://www.php.net/zlib and try $compFile = gzopen("foo.tar.gz"), "r"); HTH! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
