contrary to the notes, gzseek() returns -1 if I try to seek past the end of the file. here is a function that will return the last seekable position, and put the file pointer there.
/** sets the file pointer at the end of the file
* and returns the number of bytes in the file.
*/
function gzend($fh)
{
$d = 1<<14;
$eof = $d;
while ( gzseek($fh, $eof) == 0 ) $eof += $d;
while ( $d > 1 )
{
$d >>= 1;
$eof += $d * (gzseek($fh, $eof)? -1 : 1);
}
return $eof;
}
