zip freezes - how to handle corrupt CRC in zip-file

[ecc]

Hi @all,

i´m reading zip-files with the php zip-functions without a problem. Now i got and Zip containing an corrupt crc (If i open this file via winzip, the error is shown).

It looks like the php functions for zip-handeling "zip_entry_read" and "ZipArchive::getFrom..." do not quit on a bad crc checksum.... so these functions read in the file and than are in an infinite loop. Because i use PHP-GTK2 my tool feezes and the process has to be killed. On an web-enviroment this could also a big problem ..... ok, user-zip handeling on web is not the best idea :-)

I´ve found no way to find out, if an file in the zip file is an valid or corrupt entry. The output of "ZipArchive::statName" give me no info about the state of an entry.

Is there any trick out there, how to manage this problem. Maybe this is an bug or missing feature in the zip extensions. Dont know!

Regards,
Andreas

Use error handling function for time being and exit from the loop
where control going in the loop.

Hi Sanjeev,
thank you for your fast answer.
what do you mean with "error handling function" ()? If i read in the zip_entry, the function is freezing.... no chance to handle the error, because php dont give me an error or exception. If php find a corrupt file, it freezes on this position. Maybe i can post the corrupt zip, so somebody can try it :-)

Thank you for your idea.
Andreas

Perhaps checking the consistency with this ZIPARCHIVE::CHECKCONS flag
would help.

This is just a wild guess.

Ah, fine. How do i use this ZIPARCHIVE::CHECKCONS flag?

Something like that should work, i think?

$zip = new ZipArchive;
$res = $zip->open ( $filename ZIPARCHIVE::CHECKCONS );
if (TRUE === $res) {
    # all looks fine
}
else {
    switch($res){
        case ZIPARCHIVE::ER_INCONS:
            # do some error handeling
        break;
    }
    # test these errors
    # ZIPARCHIVE::ER_EXISTS
    # ZIPARCHIVE::ER_INCONS
    # ZIPARCHIVE::ER_INVAL
    # ZIPARCHIVE::ER_MEMORY
    # ZIPARCHIVE::ER_NOENT
    # ZIPARCHIVE::ER_NOZIP
    #  ZIPARCHIVE::ER_OPEN
    # ZIPARCHIVE::ER_READ
    # ZIPARCHIVE::ER_SEEK
}

Ok, yesterday i´ve tried this... the command freezese. No chance to get an error from the archive. Am i stupid? The original zip tool give me an error on bad crc in a file, php quits with an freeze. I´ve tried also the crc error. No chance. The $zip->open always give me and TRUE as return value.

If i think, this is an bug, where can i add this?

Andreas
