lz-string-php
lz-string is designed to fulfill the need of storing large amounts of data in localStorage, specifically on mobile devices.
Due to the limitation of a maximum of 5MB in the local storage one possible solution is to compress the data right before storing
it locally.
In case you want to transfer your stored data from / to a php service you can use this library to (en)code the data.
This code is originally based on the LZ-String javascript version found here: https://pieroxy.net/blog/pages/lz-string/index.html
and is a 1:1 copy/translation into php.
Usage
<?php
\LZCompressor\LZString::compressToBase64($rawstr);
Installation
Composer
composer require nullpunkt/lz-string-php

- v1.2.1 Fixed overhead that happens with PHP UTF-8 string indexing. The calculation complexity was raising exponentially
and became unusable when the compressed message was even less than 1MBytes. [Thanks to https://github.com/peetervois]
