Description:
------------
I downloaded the php_manual_en.tar.gz doc file (many html version) from various mirrors. The file appears corrupt and I am unable to open it with various zip file programs including winzip 8 and winrar.

The file is full size after downloading but gives an error on opening and the contents are unavailable.

Thanks
Lawrence Deans

I cannot reproduce this.

Please check the MD5 of your downloaded copy of php_manual_en.tar.gz by running the following:

> php -r "print md5('php_manual_en.tar.gz');"

You should have:

If this is not what you have, there's a problem between you and the Web site, or your computer is modifying downloads. Sorry you are experiencing this trouble.

I've re-checked the download and found that the file downloaded from some mirrors is actually php_manual_en.tar.tar note the *.tar.tar extension. This file is the one that will not open. The URL is http://uk.php.net/get/php_manual_en.tar.gz/from/a/mirror
Try downloading from  the mirror servers uk.php.net, uk2.php.net or am.php.net to name just a few.
I have discovered that some mirrors do actually have the correct file and I have now downloaded and extracted this with no problem. However there are many mirrors with what appears to be the incorrect and unusable file. Thank you for your assistance.

This was marked bogus by accident and is now re-opened for editing.

I can see the same problem on some mirrors.

Looking on Linux (wget/lynx) it saves to the correct filename but Windows XP shows the problem as reported.

On uk2.php.net I noticed we didn't have an entry for .gz in the mime.types file. After adding the following entry:

"application/x-gzip              gz"

then restarting apache it seems to be saving to the correct filename on XP & Linux.

It's really browser issue. Use Firefox and it's all okay. :)
