<para>
This function returns a compressed version of the input
<parameter>data</parameter> compatible with the output of the
<command>gzip</command> program, or &false; if an error is
encountered. The optional parameter <parameter>level</parameter>
can be given as 0 for no compression up to 9 for maximum
compression, if not given the default compression level will be
the default compression level of the zlib library.
</para>
<para>
You can also give <constant>FORCE_GZIP</constant> (the default)
or <constant>FORCE_DEFLATE</constant> as optional third parameter
<parameter>encoding_mode</parameter>. If you use
<constant>FORCE_DEFLATE</constant>, you get a standard zlib
deflated string (inclusive zlib headers) after the gzip file
header but without the trailing crc32 checksum.
<note>
<para>
<parameter>level</parameter> was added in PHP 4.2, before PHP
4.2 <function>gzencode</function> only had the
<parameter>data</parameter> and (optional)
<parameter>encoding_mode</parameter> parameters..
</para>
</note>
</para>
<para>
The resulting data contains the appropriate headers and data
structure to make a standard .gz file, e.g.:
<example>
<title>Creating a gzip file</title>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
$data = implode("", file("bigfile.txt"));
$gzdata = gzencode($data, 9);
$fp = fopen("bigfile.txt.gz", "w");
fwrite($fp, $gzdata);
fclose($fp);
?>
]]>
</programlisting>
</example>
</para>
<para>
For more information on the GZIP file format, see the document:
<ulink url="&url.rfc;1952">GZIP file format specification
version 4.3</ulink> (RFC 1952).
