Java gzip.read and PHP fread() gives different results

Question

I have line in Java and in while I get number:

i = gzipinputstream1.read(abyte0, j, 4096);

From while number:

959
1552
1577
1617
1680

when I want use in php:

$i = fread($handle, 959):

while return:

959,
959,
959,
5

How make that in PHP result will be the same?

Answer 1

You need to read the stream fully in. Right now you're instructing Java to read a length of max 4096 bytes and you're instructing PHP to read a length of max 959 bytes.

If the content length is unknown beforehand, then in Java you rather need the InputStream#read() method which doesn't take any arguments and in PHP the stream_get_contents() wherein you omit the maxlength and offset arguments.
