When using php to supply data for a file download from a database the resultant file is shortened, switching off output_compression resolves this issue.

Had to update to the latest CVS version to fix truncation issues on 4.2.3 of text fields.

Using code very similar to that listed on the sybase functions page (search for hex2bin)

This is still happening with php 4.3.0 and zend optimiser 2.0.3, I turned zlib.output_compression=on, tested and the downloaded file (a zip file) was corrupt, set zlib.output_compression=off and then the download worked fine.

Still a problem with 4.3.3

Should also mention that this is with the latest version of the zend optimiser as well.

Does it work without the Zend Optimiser?

If the file is still corrupted after turning off Zend Optimiser, can you give us a short self contained example php script (and a file) which shows the error?

Thank you!

I?m experiencing that bug too.

Linux, PHP 4.3.3, no Zend Optimizer.
When using php to supply data for a file download from a database, if the file to download is a zip file, the downloaded file gets corrupted. If i switch zlib.output_compression to off in php.ini, the problem no longer exists.

I guess this could be sorted by detecting a ZIP content-type and switching zlib.output_compression off dinamically (as it is now being done for the image type).

can't believe this bug still occurs to this day.
