当我们说到压缩，我们可能会想到文件压缩，其实，字符串也是可以压缩的。PHP提供了 gzcompress() 和gzuncompress() 函数：
$string =
“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur
adipiscing elit. Nunc ut elit id mi ultricies
adipiscing. Nulla facilisi. Praesent pulvinar,
sapien vel feugiat vestibulum, nulla dui pretium orci,
non ultricies elit lacus quis ante. Lorem ipsum dolor
sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aliquam
pretium ullamcorper urna quis iaculis. Etiam ac massa
sed turpis tempor luctus. Curabitur sed nibh eu elit
mollis congue. Praesent ipsum diam, consectetur vitae
ornare a, aliquam a nunc. In id magna pellentesque
tellus posuere adipiscing. Sed non mi metus, at lacinia
augue. Sed magna nisi, ornare in mollis in, mollis
sed nunc. Etiam at justo in leo congue mollis.
Nullam in neque eget metus hendrerit scelerisque
eu non enim. Ut malesuada lacus eu nulla bibendum
id euismod urna sodales. “;
$compressed = gzcompress($string);
echo “Original size: “. strlen($string).”
”;
/* 输出原始大小
Original size: 800
*/
echo “Compressed size: “. strlen($compressed).”
”;
/* 输出压缩后的大小
Compressed size: 418
*/
// 解压缩
$original = gzuncompress($compressed);
几乎有50% 压缩比率。同时，你还可以使用 gzencode() 和 gzdecode() 函数来压缩，只不用其用了不同的压缩算法。
