[development] dealing with gzipped data with php.

[Augustin (Beginner)]

Hello,

I have a question that is tough for me, but hopefully easy for you :)

I am getting some data via XML RPC. One particular method is sending me a 
"gzipped array of 32 bits unsigned big endian integers". Sorry to be rude, 
but I had to say it!

So, basically I have:
$xml_rpc_reply['data'] = gzipped file;

How can I unzip on the fly the data so I can deal with it? 
Does it need a particular setup, apache/php server side?
Assuming I manage to unzip the data, how do I then deal with the '32 bits big 
endian integers' within it?

I certainly do hope that some of you can give me some pointers,

thanks,

Augustin.
