Compress data in php and uncompress in javascript -


greerings all

is there way compress data sent php (server) , uncompress data using javascript (client)?

thanking you

i have agree @domenic's answer here. @nishchay sharma way off.

the thing i'll add if want on per-script basis rather configuring entire server compress everything, it's trivial accomplish goal using php's gzencode() function coupled header call:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gzencode.php

for instance, let's retrieving huge set of data via ajax call php page. configure php page use gzencode follows:

<?php $somebigstring = gzencode('blahblah...blah');  header("content-type: text/javascript"); header('content-encoding: gzip');   echo $somebigstring;   ?> 

(this overly simplified, of course, i'm keeping simple.)

your js ajax call pull data down, see gzip header, , decompress automagically. use technique large geo-coordinate data sets google maps can many megabytes in size when uncompressed. couldn't easier!
