Description

function inflate_init(int $encoding, array|object $options = []): InflateContext|false

Initialize an incremental inflate context with the specified encoding.

Parameters

encoding

One of the ZLIB_ENCODING_* constants.

options

An associative array which may contain the following elements:

level: The compression level in range -1..9; defaults to -1.
memory: The compression memory level in range 1..9; defaults to 8.
window: The zlib window size (logarithmic) in range 8..15; defaults to 15.
strategy: One of ZLIB_FILTERED, ZLIB_HUFFMAN_ONLY, ZLIB_RLE, ZLIB_FIXED or ZLIB_DEFAULT_STRATEGY (the default).
dictionary: A string or an array of strings of the preset dictionary (default: no preset dictionary).

Return Values

Returns an inflate context resource (zlib.inflate) on success, or false on failure.

Errors/Exceptions

If an invalid encoding or option is passed to options, or the context couldn't be created, an error of level E_WARNING is generated.

Changelog

Version	Description
8.0.0	On success, this function returns an InflateContext instance now; previously, a resource was returned.

Notes

Caution

Unlike gzinflate(), incremental inflate contexts do not constrain the length of the decoded data, so provide no automatic protection against Zip bombs.
