[RESOLVED] Put gzdeflated item as a string in a PHP file

[Mgccl]

I found it is not possible for PHP
if there is a string operated by

<?
//save a gzdeflated PHP code
$fp = fopen("something.php", "w");
$write ='echo gzinflate("';
$write .= gzdeflate('$i=99;while($i>0){$e=$i>1?"s":"";$f=($i-1)>1?"s":"";$b=" of beer";$w=" on the wall";$y=" bottle";$k=$i-1;$j=$i==1?"Go to the store and buy some more, 99 bottles$b":"Take one down and pass it around, $k$y$f$b";echo"$i$y$e$b$w, $i$y$e$b.<br>";$i--;echo"$j$b$w.<br>";}', 9);
$write .= '") ;';
fwrite($fp, $write);
fclose($fp);
//re open the item
$fp = fopen("something.php", "r");
$content = fread($fp, filesize("something.php"));
//now eval the code
eval($content);
?>

I found it is not possible. it show me error, something to do with ASCII codes...
so is that means it's not possible to have a PHP code that contains raw resouce from gzdeflate as a string..?
but I thought there are some 1 file PHP self extracting install systems.

When you deflate a string, don't forget that the deflated string might contain " or \ characters that will break any PHP code you embed it into. Consider either escaping those characters (using str_replace('"', '\"', str_replace('\', '\\', $gzstring)) ) or uu- or base64 encoding it before embedding.

I've got some obfuscated taglines that use each of these methods:

eval('eval("echo join(\'\', array_map(\'chr\',array_map(
\'bindec\', explode(\\" \\",wordwrap(strtr(preg_replace(\'/\\\\s/\',\\"\\"
,\'\\\\\'\\"\\\\\'\\\\\'\\"\\"\\\\\'\\\\\'\\\\\'\\"\\"\\\\\'\\"\\\\\'\\\\\'\\\\\'\\\\\'
\\"\\\\\'\\"\\"\\"\\\\\'\\"\\"\\"\\"\\"\\\\\'\\"\\"\\"\\"\\"\\\\\'\\\\\'\\\\\'\\"\\\\\'
\\\\\'\\\\\'\\"\\\\\'\\\\\'\\"\\\\\'\\\\\'\\\\\'\\\\\'\\\\\'\\\\\'\\\\\'\\"\\\\\'\\"\\"
\\\\\'\\\\\'\\"\\\\\'\\"\\"\\"\\\\\'\\\\\'\\"\\"\\\\\'\\"\\\\\'\\\\\'\\\\\'\\\\\'\\"\\"
\\\\\'\\"\\"\\\\\'\\"\\"\\"\\"\\"\\\\\'\\"\\\\\'\\"\\"\\"\\"\\\\\'\\"\\"\\\\\'\\"\\"\\"
\\\\\'\\"\\\\\'\\"\\"\\"\\"\\"\\\\\'\\"\\"\\"\\"\\"\\\\\'\\"\\\\\'\\"\\\\\'\\"\\"\\\\\'
\\\\\'\\"\\"\\"\\"\\\\\'\\\\\'\\\\\'\\"\\"\\\\\'\\\\\'\\\\\'\\\\\'\\\\\'\\"\\\\\'\\\\\'
\\"\\"\\\\\'\\\\\'\\"\\\\\'\\"\\"\\\\\'\\\\\'\\\\\'\\"\\\\\'\\\\\'\\\\\'\\"\\\\\'\\\\\'
\\"\\"\\\\\'\\"\\\\\'\'),\'\\\\\'\\"\',\\"10\\"),bindec(\'111\'),\' \',1)))));");');

    str_replace('[','',strtr(urldecode(preg_replace('/[a-f\d]{2}/'

       ,"\n",                    ' '                     )))));

Have a look at the magic __[man]halt_compiler[/man] function (as used in PEAR's go-pear.phar archive).
