there are some more functions on compression but we will eb using these two only.
HOW TO COMPRESS ?
//uncompressed (simple string before compression)
$str = "My Name is Ali Imran Khan Shirani - This is my uncompressed string";
//compressed version
$compressed = gzcompress($str,5);
WHAT is 5 USED FOR?
5 is used for compression level which is maximum 9
you may pass value 1 to 9. default is 0 which means no compression.
HOW TO UNCOMPRESS THE COMPRESSED VERSION OF STRING?
variable $compressed contains the compressed version of string variable $str;
we uncompress it and put the resulting string in $str.
$str=gzuncompress($compressed);
remember if you pass an uncompressed data to gzuncompress function it may return an error.
