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

$gzip = new Gzip();

// This will create a .gz such that when ungzipped by a tool such as 7-Zip,
// it will create "qa_data/hamlet.xml".
try {
    $gzip->CompressFile('qa_data/hamlet.xml', 'qa_output/hamlet.xml.gz');

    // Call CompressFile2 to explicitly specify the ungzip path
    // For example, this will create a .gz such that when ungzipped by a tool such as 7-Zip,
    // it will create "hamlet.xml".
    $embeddedExtractPath = 'hamlet.xml';
