Bug #15930 Updated: gzencode can't have a level

ID: 15930 Updated by: jbgagnon@apic.fr -Summary: gzencode can't have a level Reported By: jbgagnon@apic.fr Status: Analyzed Bug Type: Documentation problem -Operating System: windows 200 +Operating System: windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.1.1 Assigned To: sr New Comment: YES, I use it. before I use gzopen($fic,"wb9"); with a temporary file the compression was better than gzencode. For passing information from serveur to client, the size of data is very important. I prefer spending 20 ms for much compression than 30 sec more for download. but if it is possible to change the Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION, it's ok I always use the same (maxi) compression. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-07 10:50:54] sr@php.net That's an error in the documentation. The optional second parameter doesn't set the compression level, it does set the compression mode, i.e. you can use FORCE_GZIP or FORCE_DEFLATE in order to use gzip/deflate compression. The compression level is always the default Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION. If nobody objects (does anybody use this parameter?) I'll fix the documentation ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-07 07:37:05] jbgagnon@apic.fr <?php $data = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"; $gzdata = gzencode($data); echo strlen($gzdata),":ok<BR>"; $gzdata = gzencode($data,9); echo strlen($gzdata),":bad always 10<BR>"; ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15930&edit=1
