I need to uncompress a string compressed in the GZIP standard in PHP. The field type is base64Binary.

I've tried: gzinflate($string); gzdecode($string); gzuncompress($string);

But I only had return of "data error" in using the three functions. How could I solve this problem?

php gzip

If the field is base64Binary (probably a webservice, maybe SOAP) then you have to use base64_decode and then gzdecode , something like:

$string = base64_decode($string);
$string = gzdecode($string);

var_dump($string); //Para testar o resultado
