gzencode

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5)

gzencode -- Create a gzip compressed string

Description

string gzencode ( string data [, int level [, int encoding_mode]])

This function returns a compressed version of the input data compatible with the output of the gzip program, or FALSE if an error is encountered. The optional parameter level 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.

You can also give FORCE_GZIP (the default) or FORCE_DEFLATE as optional third parameter encoding_mode. If you use FORCE_DEFLATE, you get a standard zlib deflated string (inclusive zlib headers) after the gzip file header but without the trailing crc32 checksum.

Замечание: level was added in PHP 4.2, before PHP 4.2 gzencode() only had the data and (optional) encoding_mode parameters..

The resulting data contains the appropriate headers and data structure to make a standard .gz file, e.g.:

Пример 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);
?>
