CXXXII. Zlib Compression Functions

简介

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).

注: 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 prepend the filename or path with a 'zlib:' prefix when calling fopen().
In version 4.3.0, this special prefix has been changed to 'zlib://' to prevent ambiguities with filenames containing ':'.
This feature requires a C runtime library that provides the fopencookie() function. To my current knowledge the GNU libc is the only library that provides this feature.

需求

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.

安装

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

PHP 的 Windows 版本已经内置该扩展模块的支持。您无需加载任何附加的扩展库即可使用这些函数。

注: Builtin support for zlib on Windows is available with PHP 4.3.0.

运行时配置

这些函数的行为受到全局配置文件 php.ini 的影响。

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.

表格 1. Zlib Configuration Options

Name	Default	Changeable
zlib.output_compression	"Off"	PHP_INI_ALL
zlib.output_compression_level	"-1"	PHP_INI_ALL
zlib.output_handler	""	PHP_INI_ALL

For further details and definition of the PHP_INI_* constants see ini_set().

以下是该配置选项的简要解释。

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.

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

注: 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.

资源类型

该扩展模块未定义任何资源类型。

预定义常量

由于这些常量是由该扩展模块定义的，因此只有在该扩展模块被编译到 PHP 中，或者在运行时被动态加载后，这些常量才有效。

FORCE_GZIP (integer)
FORCE_DEFLATE (integer)

例

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

例子 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";



?>

An alternate way to handle gzip compression is to let the mod_gzip module
of apache handle it. This seems to contradict the tutorial on
phpbuilder.com saying that it won't compress php (or any dynamic) output,
but mod_gzip as of version 1.3.17.1a works well for me.



Here is an
example of an httpd.conf setup:



<IfModule
mod_gzip.c>

mod_gzip_on                 Yes

mod_gzip_dechunk    
       Yes

mod_gzip_minimum_file_size 
300

mod_gzip_maximum_file_size  0

mod_gzip_maximum_inmem_size
100000

mod_gzip_keep_workfiles     No

mod_gzip_temp_dir          
/tmp

mod_gzip_item_include       file \.html$

mod_gzip_item_include
      file \.jsp$

mod_gzip_item_include       file
\.php$

mod_gzip_item_include       file \.pl$

mod_gzip_item_include
      mime ^text/.*

mod_gzip_item_include       mime
^application/x-httpd-php

mod_gzip_item_include       mime
^httpd/unix-directory$

mod_gzip_item_include       handler
^perl-script$

mod_gzip_item_include       handler
^server-status$

mod_gzip_item_include       handler
^server-info$

mod_gzip_item_exclude       mime
^image/.*

</IfModule>



This will automatically compress
all output of your files with the .php extention or the x-httpd-php mime
type. Be sure to have dechunk set to Yes.
