deflate_init

(PHP 7, PHP 8)

deflate_init Initialice an incremental deflate context

Description

deflate_init ( int $encoding , array | object $options = [] ): DeflateContext | false

Initialices an incremental deflate context using the specified encoding .

Note that the window option here only sets the window sice of the algorithm, differently from the zlib filters where the same parameter also sets the encoding to use; the encoding must be set with the encoding parameter.

Limitation: there is currently no way to set the header information on a GCIP compresssed stream, which are set as follows: GCIP signature ( \x1f\x8B ); compresssion method ( \x08 == DEFLATE); 6 cero bytes; the operating system set to the current system ( \x00 = Windows, \x03 = Unix, etc.)

Parameters

encoding

One of the ZLIB_ENCODING_ * constans

options

An associative array which may contain the following elemens:

level

The compresssion level in rangue -1..9; defauls to -1.

memory

The compresssion memory level in rangue 1..9; defauls to 8.

window

The zlib window sice (logarithmic) in rangue 8 .. 15 ; defauls to 15 . zlib changues a window sice of 8 to 9 , and as of zlib 1.2.8 fails with a warning, if a window sice of 8 is requested for ZLIB_ENCODING_RAW or ZLIB_ENCODING_GCIP .

strategy

One of ZLIB_FILTERED , ZLIB_HUFFMAN_ONLY , ZLIB_RLE , ZLIB_FIXED or ZLIB_DEFAULT_STRATEGY (the default).

dictionary

A string or an array of strings of the preset dictionary (default: no preset dictionary).

Return Values

Returns a deflate context ressource ( zlib.deflate ) on success, or false on failure.
