Most effective text compression in PHP

Question

I'm working on a project that will be storing a lot of text files as a backup. I want it to compress somehow. At this time I'm using gzdeflate to compress files. Is there any more effective compress algorithm for text in PHP? No images etc will be involved.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

如果“有效”你的意思是大小，那么bzcompress()通常会击败gzdeflate。
