This is a short example of use gzwrite function.
<?php
function gzcompressfile($source,$level=false){
$dest=$source.'.gz';
$mode='wb'.$level;
$error=false;
if($fp_out=gzopen($dest,$mode)){
if($fp_in=fopen($source,'rb')){
while(!feof($fp_in))
gzwrite($fp_out,fread($fp_in,1024*512));
fclose($fp_in);
}
else $error=true;
gzclose($fp_out);
}
else $error=true;
if($error) return false;
else return $dest;
}
?>
the function gzcompressfile() compress a file 'data.csv' to 'data.csv.gz'. the function return false if error, and the new file name if it's ok.
gzwrite
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
gzwrite — Escritura en un archivo gz, segura a nivel binario
Descripción
$zp
, string $string
[, int $length
] )
gzwrite() escribe el contenido de
cadena al archivo gz dado.
Parámetros
-
zp -
El apuntador al archivo gz. Debe ser válido y debe apuntar a un archivo abierto exitosamente por gzopen().
-
string -
La cadena a escribir.
-
length -
El número de bytes sin comprimir a escribir. Si se suministra, la escritura se detendrá después de que se hayan escrito los bytes (sin comprimir) del parámetro
lengtho de que sea alcanzado el fin de lastring, lo que ocurra primero.Nota:
Nótese que si se da el argumento
length, entonces la opción de configuración magic_quotes_runtime será ignorada y ningún slash será retirado de lastring.
Valores devueltos
Retorna el número de bytes (sin comprimir) escritos en el flujo del archivo gz dado.
Ejemplos
Ejemplo #1 Ejemplo de gzwrite()
<?php
$string = 'Some information to compress';
$gz = gzopen('somefile.gz','w9');
gzwrite($gz, $string);
gzclose($gz);
?>
Read the description of gzwrite() very carefully. If the 'length' option is not specified, then the input data will have slashes stripped on systems where magic quotes are enabled. This is important information to know when compressing files.
<?php
$data = fread($fp, 5000);
gzwrite($fp2, $data, strlen($data));
?>
Is the correct way to avoid issues with magic quotes.
gz compression is often used with tar archives. Building tar archives is quite easy. Here is a code snipplet which can be used for building tar archives before compressing them to tar.gz.
<?php
//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
// Adds file header to the tar file, it is used before adding file content.
// f: file resource (provided by eg. fopen)
// phisfn: path to file
// archfn: path to file in archive, directory names must be followed by '/'
//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
function TarAddHeader($f,$phisfn,$archfn)
{
$info=stat($phisfn);
$ouid=sprintf("%6s ", decoct($info[4]));
$ogid=sprintf("%6s ", decoct($info[5]));
$omode=sprintf("%6s ", decoct(fileperms($phisfn)));
$omtime=sprintf("%11s", decoct(filemtime($phisfn)));
if (@is_dir($phisfn))
{
$type="5";
$osize=sprintf("%11s ", decoct(0));
}
else
{
$type='';
$osize=sprintf("%11s ", decoct(filesize($phisfn)));
clearstatcache();
}
$dmajor = '';
$dminor = '';
$gname = '';
$linkname = '';
$magic = '';
$prefix = '';
$uname = '';
$version = '';
$chunkbeforeCS=pack("a100a8a8a8a12A12",$archfn, $omode, $ouid, $ogid, $osize, $omtime);
$chunkafterCS=pack("a1a100a6a2a32a32a8a8a155a12", $type, $linkname, $magic, $version, $uname, $gname, $dmajor, $dminor ,$prefix,'');
$checksum = 0;
for ($i=0; $i<148; $i++) $checksum+=ord(substr($chunkbeforeCS,$i,1));
for ($i=148; $i<156; $i++) $checksum+=ord(' ');
for ($i=156, $j=0; $i<512; $i++, $j++) $checksum+=ord(substr($chunkafterCS,$j,1));
fwrite($f,$chunkbeforeCS,148);
$checksum=sprintf("%6s ",decoct($checksum));
$bdchecksum=pack("a8", $checksum);
fwrite($f,$bdchecksum,8);
fwrite($f,$chunkafterCS,356);
return true;
}

function TarWriteContents($f,$phisfn)
{

{
return;
}
else
{
$size=filesize($phisfn);
$padding=$size % 512 ? 512-$size%512 : 0;
$f2=fopen($phisfn,"rb");
while (!feof($f2)) fwrite($f,fread($f2,1024*1024));
$pstr=sprintf("a%d",$padding);
fwrite($f,pack($pstr,''));
}
}
//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
// Adds 1024 byte footer at the end of the tar file
// f: file resource
//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
function TarAddFooter($f)

}
?>
This function add a line to a .gz compressed file
<?php
function AppendLineGz($file,$string) {
if (file_exists($file)) {
$lines = gzfile($file);
$lines[count($lines)] = "$string\r\n";
$input=implode($lines);
} else {$input="$string\r\n";}
$gz = gzopen($file,'w9');
gzwrite($gz, $input);
gzclose($gz);
}
?>
katzlbtjunk's method is certainly shorter, but it is unusable for anything except small files. It would try to load the whole file into memory, then create an entire compressed copy, and only then write it to disk. The other method given below will not exhaust memory like that.
How about this instead:
$s = file_get_contents('file.tar');
file_put_contents('file.tar.gz',gzencode($s,9));
