Zlib Compression Functions

Introduktion

This module enables you to transparently read and write gzip (.gz) compressed files, through versions of most of the filesystem functions which work with gzip-compressed files (and uncompressed files, too, but not with sockets).

Note: Version 4.0.4 introduced a fopen-wrapper for .gz-files, so that you can use a special zlib: URL to access compressed files transparently using the normal f*() file access functions if you prefix the filename or path with zlib: when calling fopen(). This feature requires a C runtime library that provides the fopencookie() function. Up to now the GNU libc seems to be the only library that provides this feature.
In PHP 4.3.0, zlib: has been changed to compress.zlib:// to prevent ambiguities with filenames containing ':' characters. The fopencookie() function is not longer required. More information is available in the section about Compression Streams.

Systemkrav

This module uses the functions of » zlib by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler. You have to use a zlib version >= 1.0.9 with this module.

Installation

Zlib support in PHP is not enabled by default. You will need to configure PHP --with-zlib[=DIR]

Windows versionen af PHP har indbygget support for denne udvidelse. Du behøver ikke indsætte ekstra udvidelser for at bruge disse funktioner.

Note: Built-in support for zlib on Windows is available with PHP 4.3.0.

Runtime Konfiguration

Virkemåden af disse funktioner er berørt af indstillinger i php.ini.

The zlib extension offers the option to transparently compress your pages on-the-fly, if the requesting browser supports this. Therefore there are three options in the configuration file php.ini.

Zlib Configuration Options
Name Default Changeable Changelog
zlib.output_compression "0" PHP_INI_ALL Available since PHP 4.0.5.
zlib.output_compression_level "-1" PHP_INI_ALL Available since PHP 4.3.0.
zlib.output_handler "" PHP_INI_ALL Available since PHP 4.3.0.
For flere detaljer og definationer af PHP_INI_* constanterne, se ini_set() dokumentation.

Her er en kort forklaring på konfigurations-direktiverne.

zlib.output_compression boolean/integer

Whether to transparently compress pages. If this option is set to "On" in php.ini or the Apache configuration, pages are compressed if the browser sends an "Accept-Encoding: gzip" or "deflate" header. "Content-Encoding: gzip" (respectively "deflate") and "Vary: Accept-Encoding" headers are added to the output. In runtime, it can be set only before sending any output.

This option also accepts integer values instead of boolean "On"/"Off", using this you can set the output buffer size (default is 4KB).

Note: output_handler must be empty if this is set 'On' ! Instead you must use zlib.output_handler.

zlib.output_compression_level integer

Compression level used for transparent output compression.

zlib.output_handler string

You cannot specify additional output handlers if zlib.output_compression is activated here. This setting does the same as output_handler but in a different order.

Ressourcetyper

This extension defines a file pointer resource returned by gzopen().

Foruddefinerede Konstanter

Konstanterne nedenunder er defineret af denne udvidelse, og vil kun være tilgængelige når denne udvidelse enten er blevet kompileret ind i PHP eller dynamisk indsat under runtime.

FORCE_GZIP (integer)
FORCE_DEFLATE (integer)

Eksempler

This example opens a temporary file and writes a test string to it, then it prints out the content of this file twice.

Example#1 Small Zlib Example

<?php

$filename = tempnam('/tmp', 'zlibtest') . '.gz';
echo "<html>\n<head></head>\n<body>\n<pre>\n";
$s = "Only a test, test, test, test, test, test, test, test!\n";

// open file for writing with maximum compression
$zp = gzopen($filename, "w9");

// write string to file
gzwrite($zp, $s);

// close file
gzclose($zp);

// open file for reading
$zp = gzopen($filename, "r");

// read 3 char
echo gzread($zp, 3);

// output until end of the file and close it.
gzpassthru($zp);
gzclose($zp);

echo "\n";

// open file and print content (the 2nd time).
if (readgzfile($filename) != strlen($s)) {
        echo "Error with zlib functions!";
}
unlink($filename);
echo "</pre>\n</body>\n</html>\n";

?>
