I tried unzipping a file with extension .gz, but I get the following error.

Warning: gzuncompress(): data error

My code is very simple:

<?php
  $filename = "file.gz";
  $uncompressed = gzuncompress($filename);
  echo $uncompressed;
?>

How can I solve that?

Thank you.

The parameter for `gzuncompress` is `$data`, not `$filename`! – deceze Feb 23 '18 at 11:00
Thank you Salim Ibrogimov,this worked. – javier martinez garcia Feb 23 '18 at 11:35
