gzdecode
gzcompress produces longer data because it embeds information about the encoding onto the string. If you are compressing data that will only ever be handled on one machine, then you don't need to worry about which of these functions you use. However, if you are passing data compressed with these functions to a different machine you should use gzcompress.
gzdeflate
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5)
gzdeflate — Compresse une chaîne
Description
string gzdeflate
( string
$data
[, int $level = -1
] )gzdeflate() compresse la chaîne donnée en utilisant le format de données DEFLATE.
Pour plus de détails sur l'algorithme, lisez le document » "ZLIB Compressed Data Format Specification version 1.3" (RFC 1951).
Liste de paramètres
-
data -
Les données à compresser.
-
level -
Le degré de compression. 0 signifie aucune compression jusqu'à 9 pour une compression maximale. Si omis, le degré de compression par défaut sera celui de la bibliothèque zlib.
Valeurs de retour
La chaîne compressée ou FALSE si une erreur survient.
Exemples
Exemple #1 Exemple avec gzdeflate()
<?php
$compressed = gzdeflate('Compresse moi', 9);
echo $compressed;
?>

running 50000 repetitions on various content, i found that gzdeflate() and gzcompress() both performed equally fast regardless content and compression level, but gzinflate() was always about twice as fast as gzuncompress().

gzcompress() is the same like gzdefflate(), it produces identical data and its speed is the same as well. The only difference is that gzcompress produces 6 bytes bigger result (2 extra bytes at the beginning and 4 extra bytes at the end).

Take care that that "PHP deflate" != "HTTP deflate".
The deflate encoding used in HTTP is actually zlib encoded.
This is what PHP functions return:
gzencode() == gzip
gzcompress() == zlib (aka. HTTP deflate)
gzdeflate() == *raw* deflate encoding

if you have compressed data which is greater than 2 MB (system dependent), you will receive a buffer error by calling the function gzinflate().
be sure to to compress your data by a lower compression level, like 1.
i.e.: gzdeflate($sData, 1);

No, gzdeflate() implements rfc1951.
And rf2616 (http 1.1 specs) says "deflate : The "zlib" format defined in RFC 1950 [31] in combination with the "deflate" compression mechanism described in RFC 1951 [29]."
