gzencode — Create a gzip compressed string
Description
$data
[, int $level = -1
[, int $encoding_mode = FORCE_GZIP
]] )
This function returns a compressed version of the input
data compatible with the output of the
gzip program.
For more information on the GZIP file format, see the document: » GZIP file format specification version 4.3 (RFC 1952).
Parameters
-
data -
The data to encode.
-
level -
The level of compression. Can be given as 0 for no compression up to 9 for maximum compression. If not given, the default compression level will be the default compression level of the zlib library.
-
encoding_mode -
The encoding mode. Can be
FORCE_GZIP(the default) orFORCE_DEFLATE.Prior to PHP 5.4.0, using
FORCE_DEFLATEresults in a standard zlib deflated string (inclusive zlib headers) after a gzip file header but without the trailing crc32 checksum.In PHP 5.4.0 and later,
FORCE_DEFLATEgenerates RFC 1950 compliant output, consisting of a zlib header, the deflated data, and an Adler checksum.
Return Values
The encoded string, or FALSE if an error occurred.
Changelog
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 5.4.0 |
FORCE_DEFLATE now generates RFC 1950 compliant
output.
|
| 4.2.0 |
The encoding_mode parameter was added
|
Examples
The resulting data contains the appropriate headers and data structure to make a standard .gz file, e.g.:
Example #1 Creating a gzip file
<?php
$data = implode("", file("bigfile.txt"));
$gzdata = gzencode($data, 9);
$fp = fopen("bigfile.txt.gz", "w");
fwrite($fp, $gzdata);
fclose($fp);
?>
