Gzip Compress In Memory and Base64 Encode

See more Gzip Examples

Demonstrates how to Gzip compress in-memory data and then encode the compressed data to base64. Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

use Chilkat2\BinData;
use Chilkat2\Gzip;

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$gzip = new Gzip();

// This example will load a file into the fileData object.
// Your application might load fileData from other sources..
$fileData = new BinData();
try {
    $fileData->LoadFile('qa_data/xml/hamlet.xml');
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo "Failed to load file.\n";
    exit;
}

// In-place compress the contents of fileData
try {
    $gzip->CompressBd($fileData);
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}

// Get the base64 encoded compressed data (in a single line).
$strBase64 = $fileData->GetEncoded('base64');
echo $strBase64, "\n";

// To get the base64 in multiple lines, as it might appear in MIME,
// use "base64-mime".
$strBase64MultiLine = $fileData->GetEncoded('base64-mime');
echo $strBase64MultiLine, "\n";
