What are you trying to do with the file? A tar file can contain
multiple files and have a directory structure.

The only problem with this is that he'll result with a tar file.

Re: [PHP] opening remote tar.gz files
There are a number of possible solutions. If i remember correctly some compressed file types need the ability to handle them compiled into PHP. Try different things. Sometimes the easiest way to do things is to FTP into the remote server and ftp into your server to transfer it. -Dan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] opening remote tar.gz files
[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!
