(PHP Extension) Compress and Encrypt a Large File (Low and Constant Memory Footprint)

See more Compression Examples

Demonstrates how to compress and encrypt a large file such that the memory footprint remains low and constant.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.99 or greater.

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

$compress = new CkCompression();

// Set encryption params.
// The possible values are the same as for the corresponding properties in the Chilkat Crypt2 class/object.
// The encoded IV and Key must be specified as hex.
