Help extract Gzip .gz files with PHP

Hi can anyone show me a working example of how to use gzip to
decompress a file.
I have read the docs at PHP help and I did not find the desired function.


Start at this example of code

<?php
$filename = $filename.'.gz';
..... some gUnzip functions to extract filename.gz ....

Server: Apache, PHP Ver: 5.2.5

hope this helps

 

but its does not help...

 

Can you make a (linux) system call?

echo system("gunzip2 $filename 2>&1");

PHP:

The file will now go from $filename.gz to just $filename.

sh: gunzip2: command not found sh: gunzip2: command not found

Hi,

Do you have root, i.e. can you install it?

Tell me what i should install and how?

Thank you

 

try this class
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/4239.html

 

passthru("unzip 111.txt.gz");

PHP:

and

system('tar -xzf 111.txt.gz');

PHP:

does not work

 

How about:

echo system("/bin/gunzip $filename 2>&1");

PHP:

or

echo system("gunzip $filename 2>&1");

PHP:
