string bzcompress ( string source [, int blocksize [, int workfactor]] )

bzcompress() compresses the given string and returns it as bzip2 encoded data.

Parameters

source

The string to compress.

blocksize

Specifies the blocksize used during compression and should be a number from 1 to 9 with 9 giving the best compression, but using more resources to do so. blocksize defaults to 4.
