 Is there a way to test if a .gz file is in a valid format. Functions like
 gzread, gzfile don't seem to care if the file is corrupt or not.

 gzeof also didn't work for me. I guess it is because it does not check for
 a
 valid .gz termination. Any ideas to go about doing this?

Google for gz and gzip and validity tests.

Most likely, you'll need to http://php.net/exec to test the files...

Or you could maybe add in the functionality to PHP itself with some C
hacking :-)

I'd generate an MD5 sum on a file you know is valid, and compare it against 
that in your script.
