PHP-Extension for compressing content with zopfli.
Put this single line in your php.ini and put the extension in the same place as the other default extensions
extension=php_zopfli.(so|dll)
Optional configure the default number of iterations in your php.ini. Whenever you call zopfliencode() without the 2nd argument the php.ini default value is used instead.
[Zopfli]
zopfli.iterations = 5
php_zopfli can be used as replacement for gzip/zlib compression - zopfli is 100% compatible with gzip + zlib so your browser will understand the zopfli output as well - just call zopfliencode() instead of gzencode(). The second argument is the optional iteration counter (a value between 1 and [max?]1000). Usage example:
<?php
$buffer = 'put some longer story here ...';
/*
* call zopfliencode instead of gzencode()
* @param string The string to encode/compress
* @param integer Number of iterations for compression (1 - 1000 [default = 5])
*/
$data = zopfliencode($buffer, 1);
header('Content-Encoding: gzip');
header('Content-Length: '.strlen($data));
header('Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: no-cache');
// output data
echo $data;
