[rrd-users] PHP Binding - php_rrdtool.tgz - Invalid Archive

[Tobias Oetiker]

Hi Christos,

it may be that the tgz archive gets unpacked by your browser ...

try

tar xvf php_rrdtool.tgz

whats more, is that modern version of gnu tar will add the missing z
(or j) if necessary on their own anyway ...

cheers
tobi
