Read the description of gzwrite() very carefully. If the 'length' option is not specified, then the input data will have slashes stripped on systems where magic quotes are enabled. This is important information to know when compressing files.
<?php
$data = fread($fp, 5000);
gzwrite($fp2, $data, strlen($data));
?>
Is the correct way to avoid issues with magic quotes.
gzwrite
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
gzwrite — Écrit dans un fichier compressé gzip
Description
$zp
, string $string
[, int $length
] )
gzwrite() écrit le contenu de la chaîne
string dans le fichier compressé
zp.
Liste de paramètres
-
zp -
Le pointeur de fichier. Il doit être valide et doit pointer vers un fichier ouvert avec succès grâce à la fonction gzopen().
-
string -
La chaîne à écrire.
-
length -
Le nombre d'octets décompressés à écrire. Si fournie, l'écriture s'arrêtera après
length(décompressé) octets écrits ou si la fin de la chaînestringest atteinte ; celui qui survient le premier.Note:
Notez que si l'argument
lengthest donné, alors l'option de configuration magic_quotes_runtime sera ignoré et aucun slash ne sera supprimé de la chaînestring.
Valeurs de retour
Retourne le nombre d'octets (décompressés) écrits dans le fichier gz donné.
Exemples

<?php
$string = 'Quelques informations à compresser';
$gz = gzopen('somefile.gz','w9');
gzwrite($gz, $string);
gzclose($gz);

gz compression is often used with tar archives. Building tar archives is quite easy. Here is a code snipplet which can be used for building tar archives before compressing them to tar.gz.
<?php
//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
// Adds file header to the tar file, it is used before adding file content.
// f: file resource (provided by eg. fopen)
// phisfn: path to file
// archfn: path to file in archive, directory names must be followed by '/'
//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
function TarAddHeader($f,$phisfn,$archfn)
{
$info=stat($phisfn);
$ouid=sprintf("%6s ", decoct($info[4]));
$ogid=sprintf("%6s ", decoct($info[5]));
$omode=sprintf("%6s ", decoct(fileperms($phisfn)));
$omtime=sprintf("%11s", decoct(filemtime($phisfn)));
if (@is_dir($phisfn))
{
$type="5";
$osize=sprintf("%11s ", decoct(0));
}
else
{
$type='';
$osize=sprintf("%11s ", decoct(filesize($phisfn)));
clearstatcache();
}

This function add a line to a .gz compressed file
<?php
function AppendLineGz($file,$string) {
if (file_exists($file)) {
$lines = gzfile($file);
$lines[count($lines)] = "$string\r\n";
$input=implode($lines);
} else {$input="$string\r\n";}
$gz = gzopen($file,'w9');
gzwrite($gz, $input);
gzclose($gz);
}
?>
katzlbtjunk's method is certainly shorter, but it is unusable for anything except small files. It would try to load the whole file into memory, then create an entire compressed copy, and only then write it to disk. The other method given below will not exhaust memory like that.
How about this instead:
$s = file_get_contents('file.tar');
file_put_contents('file.tar.gz',gzencode($s,9));
This is a short example of use gzwrite function.
<?php
function gzcompressfile($source,$level=false){
$dest=$source.'.gz';
$mode='wb'.$level;
$error=false;
if($fp_out=gzopen($dest,$mode)){
if($fp_in=fopen($source,'rb')){
while(!feof($fp_in))
gzwrite($fp_out,fread($fp_in,1024*512));
fclose($fp_in);
}
else $error=true;
gzclose($fp_out);
}
else $error=true;
if($error) return false;
else return $dest;
}
?>
the function gzcompressfile() compress a file 'data.csv' to 'data.csv.gz'. the function return false if error, and the new file name if it's ok.
