PHP Extension providing XZ (LZMA2) compression/decompression functions.

To install as module, perform the following steps:

git clone https://github.com/udan11/php-xz cd php-xz && phpize && ./configure && make && sudo make install

Do not forget to add extension = xz.so to your php.ini.

sudo apt-get install git php5-dev liblzma-dev

<?php $fh = xzopen("/tmp/test.xz", "w"); xzwrite($fh, "Data you would like compressed and written.\n"); xzclose($fh); $fh = xzopen("/tmp/test.xz", "r"); xzpassthru($fh); xzclose($fh);
