<?php

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

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Gzip')
$gzip = new COM("Chilkat.Gzip");

// This will create a .gz such that when ungzipped by a tool such as 7-Zip,
// it will create "qa_data/hamlet.xml".
$success = $gzip->CompressFile('qa_data/hamlet.xml','qa_output/hamlet.xml.gz');
if ($success == 0) {
    print $gzip->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// 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';
$success = $gzip->CompressFile2('qa_data/hamlet.xml',$embeddedExtractPath,'qa_output/hamlet2.xml.gz');
if ($success == 0) {
    print $gzip->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

print 'Success.' . "\n";
