    PHP compressor

    I'm looking for PHP code for compressing another PHP code.
    Is there any solutions for free download?

    It would be good if it can compress JS and CSS too.

    Would there be significant speed improvement by compresing an PHP script?

    Thank you!

      Compressing a PHP script would more likely slow things down, since it'd just
      have to be decompressed by the server again. If you want to speed up PHP,
      you'll get better results from a bytecode cache, such as APC, or the Zend
      product.

      If by compression you mean simply removing any redundant whitespace and
      comments, I would expect very tiny gains in performance; nothing like what
      you'd get from a bytecode compiler (which effectively does that, and
      considerably more).

      Compressing JS and CSS is potentially a different matter; you can get some
      gains there because you reduce the amount of data sent over the network to the
      client. Depends where the bottleneck is; for small files over a fast network it
      won't help. You're probably best off getting your webserver to do this for you;
      for Apache, see mod_deflate.

      In a similar way you can also get PHP to compress the _output_ of the script,
      by setting zlib.output_com pression in php.ini (amongst other ways).

          PHP files are parsed by the PHP engine (e.g. Zend) and executed.
          Decreasing the physical size of the file will not make it 'faster'.

          If you want to minimize the download size of all the server output,
          then use a JS and CSS compressor. You can also use ZLib
          (http://us2.php.net/zlib) on the server side to compress the data being
          output.
