How To Decode "content-encoding: Gzip, Gzip" Using Curl?

I am trying to decode the webpage www.dealstan.com using CURL by using the below code: $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); // Define target site curl_setopt($ch

Solution 1:

You can decode it by trimming off the headers and using gzinflate.

$url = "http://www.dealstan.com"

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); // Define target site
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); // Return page in string
curl_setopt($cr, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.342.3 Safari/533.2');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, "gzip");     
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE); // Follow redirects

$return = curl_exec($ch); 
$info = curl_getinfo($ch); 
curl_close($ch); 

$return = gzinflate(substr($return, 10));
print_r($return);
