README

PHP Class implementation of LZ-String javascript (http://pieroxy.net/blog/pages/lz-string)

lz-string was designed to fulfill the need of storing large amounts of data in localStorage, specifically on mobile devices. localStorage being usually limited to 5MB, all you can compress is that much more data you can store. In case you want to transfer your stored data from / to a php backend you can use this library to (en)code the data.

This code is originally based on the LZ-String javascript version found here: http://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
