gzopen auto-tar on Unix, not on Windows

[Dr. Gianluigi Zanettini, CEO [MegaLab.it]]

Hi all,
I've got a problem with this script

$uncompressed_b ytes="texttext\ ntexttexttextte xt\ntexttext";

$compressed_fil e=gzopen("myfil e.txt.gz", "w9");
gzwrite($compre ssed_file, $uncompressed_b ytes);
gzclose($compre ssed_file);

Pretty easy, isn't it?

This code works as expected on my Windows box, and produces a good .gz
file, but when I run it on my freeBSD-based server I get a .gz,
containing a .tar (named "myfile.txt "), containing the actual
myfile.txt

Why? How can I prevent the tar to be created? I just want a .gzipped
textfile with no tar!

Thanks!

Ok, it was mod_defalate fault, gzipping a gzipped file: adding the
gzip format from the exclusion list solved the issue.
