Just to show I am not a total leech, I did consult the manual before
I posted the question :)
The compressor in the file data says: dcomzlib
I tried the below with gzinflate and with gzuncompress.
Both give errors:
gzinflate(): data error
gzuncompress(): data error
The below is the copy/pasted hex of the compressed movie header in
the Quicktime Movie File
FYI ,I did not compress the string myself...it is compressed
automatically when a Quicktime movie is exported.
$compressed =

How do you decompress a zlib'd string located in a file with php ?
I need to dynamically write a password string into a movie file.....
It appears that in QuickTime movie API, all sprite variables/
values are zlib'd inside the movie file
So I need to:
find the string
decompress a zlib'd string inside a file.
change its value => password=new_password
recompress the new value
write the zlib'd string back to the file
I'm sure if I can decompress the string, then it will not be too
hard to do the rest :)
I'm sure if you spent 5 seconds searching the manual you would find
this page:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.gzuncompress.php
and this one:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.gzcompress.php
(HINT: I typed http://php.net/zlib into the address bar to find them)
'the rest' involves find your substring's beginning and ending
offset and then
using those values to 'splice' the new substring (aka password)
into the file/stream,
I can visualize how ot do it but have never actually needed to do
something like
that ... I would say the compress/decompress is the easier part
personally ...
buy hey as long as you get it working :-)
many thanks
back at ya, I learnt some stuff answering (hopefully) you question ;-)
