说明

gzdecode ( string $data , int $max_length = 0 ) : string|false

This function returns a decoded version of the input data.

参数

data

The data to decode, encoded by gzencode().

max_length

The maximum length of data to decode.

返回值

The decoded string, or false if an error occurred.

PROBLEM - gzdecode is returning truncated decoded string, file size of .gz file was 268 KB only

SOLUTION - use GZFILE() function to return the fully decoded string without any truncation

Hope this helps

katzlbtjunk (2008-04-30), thanks for code. But remember, .gz file may be series of members (data sets). They should be uncompressed in loop.
Fixed code gzdecodeM() on http://gist.github.com/msegu/de556cdd32eb58430871b06145168024
Addicionally, you can
- get data of gz members in array
- choose members you need to extract

This can help to decompress the data from tar archive in certain cases, hope this helps somebody
<?php
$tarName
= 'example.ini';

try {
   
/** For files with tar.gz extensions **/
   
$phar = new \PharData($path, 0, $tarName);
} catch (
$e) {
   
/** Decode the file first **/
   
$decodedFile = file_put_contents($path, gzdecode(file_get_contents($path)));
   
/** create PharData object second **/
   
$phar = new \PharData($path, 0, $tarName);
}
?>

In my case to decode correctly a GZIPOutputStream POST from Android I used
gzinflate( substr($post,10,-8) );
and not
gzinflate( substr($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA,10,-8) ) . PHP_EOL  . PHP_EOL

I use the following code:

function &gzdecodedata(&$data) {

    ob_start();

    readgzfile('data://application/gzip;base64,' . base64_encode($data));

    $d = ob_get_clean();

    return $d;
}

To decode / uncompress the received HTTP POST data in PHP code, request data coming from Java / Android application via HTTP POST GZIP / DEFLATE compressed format

1) Data sent from Java Android app to PHP using DeflaterOutputStream java class and received in PHP as shown below
echo gzinflate( substr($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA,2,-4) ) . PHP_EOL  . PHP_EOL;

2) Data sent from Java Android app to PHP using GZIPOutputStream java class and received in PHP code as shown below
echo gzinflate( substr($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA,10,-8) ) . PHP_EOL  . PHP_EOL;

From Java Android side (API level 10+), data being sent in DEFLATE compressed format
        String body = "Lorem ipsum shizzle ma nizle";
        URL url = new URL("http://www.url.com/postthisdata.php");
        URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
        conn.setDoOutput(true);
        conn.setRequestProperty("Content-encoding", "deflate");
        conn.setRequestProperty("Content-type", "application/octet-stream");
        DeflaterOutputStream dos = new DeflaterOutputStream(
                conn.getOutputStream());
        dos.write(body.getBytes());
        dos.flush();
        dos.close();
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                conn.getInputStream()));
        String decodedString = "";
        while ((decodedString = in.readLine()) != null) {
            Log.e("dump",decodedString);
        }
        in.close();

On PHP side (v 5.3.1), code for decompressing this DEFLATE data will be
    echo substr($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA,2,-4);

From Java Android side (API level 10+), data being sent in GZIP compressed format

        String body1 = "Lorem ipsum shizzle ma nizle";
        URL url1 = new URL("http://www.url.com/postthisdata.php");
        URLConnection conn1 = url1.openConnection();
        conn1.setDoOutput(true);
        conn1.setRequestProperty("Content-encoding", "gzip");
        conn1.setRequestProperty("Content-type", "application/octet-stream");
        GZIPOutputStream dos1 = new GZIPOutputStream(conn1.getOutputStream());
        dos1.write(body1.getBytes());
        dos1.flush();
        dos1.close();
        BufferedReader in1 = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                conn1.getInputStream()));
        String decodedString1 = "";
        while ((decodedString1 = in1.readLine()) != null) {
            Log.e("dump",decodedString1);
        }
        in1.close();

On PHP side (v 5.3.1), code for decompressing this GZIP data will be
    echo substr($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA,10,-8);

Useful PHP code for printing out compressed data using all available formats.

$data = "Lorem ipsum shizzle ma nizle";
echo "\n\n\n";
for($i=-1;$i<=9;$i++)
    echo chunk_split(strtoupper(bin2hex(gzcompress($data,$i))),2," ") . PHP_EOL  . PHP_EOL;
echo "\n\n\n";
for($i=-1;$i<=9;$i++)
    echo chunk_split(strtoupper(bin2hex(gzdeflate($data,$i))),2," ") . PHP_EOL  . PHP_EOL;
echo "\n\n\n";
for($i=-1;$i<=9;$i++)
    echo chunk_split(strtoupper(bin2hex(gzencode($data,$i,FORCE_GZIP))),2," ") . PHP_EOL  . PHP_EOL;
echo "\n\n\n";
for($i=-1;$i<=9;$i++)
    echo chunk_split(strtoupper(bin2hex(gzencode($data,$i,FORCE_DEFLATE))),2," ") . PHP_EOL  . PHP_EOL;
echo "\n\n\n";

Hope this helps. Please ThumbsUp if this saved you a lot of effort and time.

I don't have any deep knowledge in compression algorithms and formats, so I have no idea if this works the same on all platforms. But by several experiments on my Linux box I found how to get gzdecoded data without temporary files. Here it is:

<?php
function gzdecode($data)
{
   return
gzinflate(substr($data,10,-8));
}
?>

That's it. Simply strip header and footer bytes and you get raw deflated data for inflation.

I have used this simple function to gzdecode gzipped files downloaded from the web.

<?php

function gzdecode($data){
 
$g=tempnam('/tmp','ff');
  @
file_put_contents($g,$data);
 
ob_start();
 
readgzfile($g);
 
$d=ob_get_clean();
  return
$d;
}

3 more bugs found and fixed:
1. failed to work when the gz contained a filename - FIXED
2. failed to work on 64-bit architecture (checksum) - FIXED

Returns some errors (not all!) and filename.

Aaron G. 07-Aug-2004 03:29 posted the function gzdecode()
to gzencode comments. I FIXED the BUG: if($flags & 1) to the correct if($flags & 2)

Unfortunately the function gzencode() does NOT append a CRC so I did not notice until I tried to upload a file compressed with gzip itself.

<?php

function gzdecode($data) {
 
$len = strlen($data);
  if (
$len < 18 || strcmp(substr($data,0,2),"\x1f\x8b")) {
    return
null// Not GZIP format (See RFC 1952)
 
}
 
$method = ord(substr($data,2,1));  // Compression method
 
$flags  = ord(substr($data,3,1));  // Flags
