gzuncompress, catching errors

    How do I detect whether or not a string has been compressed?

    I'm getting the following error:

    warning: gzuncompress() [function.gzuncompress]: data error

    I'd like to test the data before passing it to gzuncompress, but can't find the required function.

    Cheers,

    fcmisc.

    The only way I can think of helping with your problem is by using the gzuncompress function to check to see if it has been compressed.

    
if (!gzuncompress($string))
{
//string hasn't been compressed
}
else
{
//string has been compressed
}
