gzopen

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

gzopen — Abre un archivo gz

Descripción

gzopen(string $filename, string $mode, int $use_include_path = 0): resource|false

Abre un archivo gzip (.gz) para lectura o escritura.

gzopen() se puede usar para leer un archivo el cual no esté en formato gzip; en este caso gzread() leerá directamente el archivo sin descomprimirlo.

Parámetros

filename: El nombre del archivo.
mode: Como en fopen() (rb o wb) pero también puede incluir un nivel de compresión (wb9) u una estrategia: f para datos filtrados como en wb6f, h para compresión Huffman solamente como en wb1h. (Ver la descripción de deflateInit2 en zlib.h para más información sobre el parámetro de estrategia.)
use_include_path: Se puede configurar este parámetro opcional en 1, si se desea buscar también el archivo en la ruta include_path.

Valores devueltos

Retorna un apuntador hacia el archivo abierto, después de eso, cualquier cosa que se lea desde este descriptor de archivo sera descomprimido de forma transparente y lo que se escriba será comprimido.

Si falla la apertura, la función retorna false.

Ejemplos

Ejemplo #1 Ejemplo de gzopen()

<?php
$fp = gzopen("/tmp/file.gz", "r");
?>

gzopen("php://output","wb") doesn't work on a web server, nor does fopen("compress.zlib://php://output","wb").

Here is a snippet to gzip a file and output it on the fly, without using a temporary file, without reading the file into memory, and without reading the file more than once:

<?php
$fin = fopen($file, "rb");
if ($fin !== FALSE) {
    $fout = fopen("php://output", "wb");
    if ($fout !== FALSE) {
    // write gzip header
    fwrite($fout, "\x1F\x8B\x08\x08".pack("V", filemtime($file))."\0\xFF", 10);
    // write the original file name
    $oname = str_replace("\0", "", basename($file));
    fwrite($fout, $oname."\0", 1+strlen($oname));
    // add the deflate filter using default compression level
    $fltr = stream_filter_append($fout, "zlib.deflate", STREAM_FILTER_WRITE, -1);
    // set up the CRC32 hashing context
    $hctx = hash_init("crc32b");
    // turn off the time limit
    if (!ini_get("safe_mode")) set_time_limit(0);
    $con = TRUE;
    $fsize = 0;
    while (($con !== FALSE) && !feof($fin)) {
        // deflate works best with buffers >32K
        $con = fread($fin, 64 * 1024);
        if ($con !== FALSE) {
        hash_update($hctx, $con);
        $clen = strlen($con);
        $fsize += $clen;
        fwrite($fout, $con, $clen);
        }
    }
    // remove the deflate filter
    stream_filter_remove($fltr);
    // write the CRC32 value
    // hash_final is a string, not an integer
    $crc = hash_final($hctx, TRUE);
    // need to reverse the hash_final string so it's little endian
    fwrite($fout, $crc[3].$crc[2].$crc[1].$crc[0], 4);
    // write the original uncompressed file size
    fwrite($fout, pack("V", $fsize), 4);
    fclose($fout);
    }
    fclose($fin);
}
?>

WARNING gzopen and gzread have a major disadvantage. They makes NO checksum and NO length verification of the gzipped data and discard this valuable information. This should be documented here.

An OO-version of David Gero's excellent GZ File format note also on this page:

// David Gero's example: read a file and output GZ

There is an active feature request for an xzopen function. The xz program uses the LZMA algorithm for much higher compression ratios than gzip.

Until such time that xzopen might be available, here is my best design for safely reading .xz files which originate remotely and are not trusted.

Below is a CSV log viewer - there is a lot going on here, so I will explain it below:

<?

$PRG_NAME = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], '.php');
$PRG_LEN = strlen($PRG_NAME);

if(substr($z = $_GET['CSV'], 0, $PRG_LEN) == $PRG_NAME)
{
 header('content-type:application/csv;charset=UTF-8');
 header('Content-Disposition:attachment;filename="' .
   $_GET['CSV'] . '.csv"');

 if('.xz' == substr($z, -3))
 {
        $tmpfname = tempnam("/tmp", "php-log-viewer");
        $fpx = fopen($tmpfname, 'w');
        fprintf($fpx, "/var/app/log/%s\0", $z);
        fclose($fpx);

        $fp = popen("xz -cd --files0=" . $tmpfname, 'r');
 }
 else   $fp = fopen('/var/app/log/' . $z, 'r');

 while($line = fgets($fp))
  echo '"' . preg_replace('/[~]/', '","', rtrim($line)) . "\"\n";

 fclose($fp); if(is_file($tmpfname)) unlink($tmpfname); exit;
}

?>

The logs are tilde-delimited files (~) in the /var/app/log directory which the code above converts to CSV and injects into Excel. They are regularly compressed by cron, but the latest logs will be uncompressed text files. A separate section of my code (not included here) presents them via opendir()/readdir()/stat().

The file prefix that the viewer will allow the user to see is determined by the name of the script - if I name it FTP-LOG.php, then any file beginning with /var/app/log/FTP-LOG can be read. I am enabling the viewer for different prefixes by making hard links to the script.

Since the log might not (yet) be compressed, I check the extension - if .xz is detected, then the gymnastics begin.

It is not safe to pass form content from remote users to a UNIX shell, and I am trying to avoid this. Fortunately, xz has the --files and --files0 options, and I create a temporary filename, record the file of interest in it, then open an xz process for reading (otherwise, a simple fopen() will suffice). Recording a \0 allows safer processing of files with embedded newlines (which is allowed by POSIX), and is immediately familiar to fans of "find -print0" and "xargs -0".

Unfortunately, neither bzip2 nor lzip have have a --files[0] option. It is quite useful in this case, and appears to improve security.

dtorop932 at hotmail dot com's comments, according to my tests, is incorrect. That code wishes to download the entire file before parsing, which is inconvinient. The wget method works though.

Be aware that when opening a remote file on a http server the gzopen will return by default false after 120 seconds waiting to any answer.

RE dubious's comment: "Being able to read gzip streams from ftp and http is near the top of my personal wishlist at the moment..."

One way to read a gzip stream over http is to daisychain stream wrappers, e.g.:

<?
$fp = fopen("compress.zlib://http://some.website.org/example.gz", "r");
?>

"On the fly" gunzipping actually DOES seem to work - it just appears that only LOCAL streams/files (including php://stdin) can be accessed for some reason.  I THINK (but have not yet tested) that you could similarly gzopen "php://stdout" and pass a stream of gzipped data to the browser (when run from a web page) or console (when run standalone) through there.

I HAVE tested scripts from the command line like:

wget -q -O- ftp://some.host.net/pub/some_gzip_file.gz | php gunzip_stuff.php

where gunzip_stuff.php would be a script that gzopened "php://stdin" and did gzgets from that stream, and it seems to work fine, but that obviously doesn't help someone wanting to grab gzipped streams from remote sites from a web-based script.

Being able to read gzip streams from ftp and http is near the top of my personal wishlist at the moment...

This worked unstable for me under high load (50+ files per second):

<?php
    $gz = gzopen ( $file, 'w9' );
    gzwrite ( $gz, $content );
    gzclose ( $gz );
?>

The following works fine:

<?php
    $f = fopen ( $file, 'w' );
    fwrite ( $f, gzcompress ( $content, 9 ) );
    fclose ( $f );
?>
