Downloading xml.gz files

[Murciano]

I have a fair number of xml.gz files on my server, i decompress these on the fly, edit in a text field and recompress/upload, there are quite a lot of them and it takes time, im looking for a way i can decompress on the fly just by typing the filename into a textfield and the filename populating the URL by php is this possible? I dont want code just pointing to an example would be good enough, thanks

This how I see your question.

Doesn't the problem answer your question? Aren't you already doing what you ask you want to be doing?

Thanks for the reply Zanus,

 

I may not have explained myself correctly, hope this is a little clearer

 

1) I need to download, decompress files into a textarea, which is a success

 

2) The problem is the URL at my server, the files all have the same extension only difference is they are placed in a different folder, similar to this example

http://www.example.com/this_folder_is_named_differently/data.xml.gz

 

I need a php system where i can just add the folder name from a text field and submit so that i get the correct data.xml.gz,

 

then it is decompressed on the fly and populates a textarea for reading/editing ( all good to here) from submitting from this textarea it is then recompressed for downloading to desktop or re-uploaded to folder (user chooses)..
