New Comment:
I started working on a xz extension for PHP. I got the basics of the writing
half of it worked out tonight, which is definitely the easy part. :) I'll let
you know when I get a workable extension for testing.
This is what I have so far:
payden@arwen:~$ cat test.php
<?php
ini_set('display_errors','on');
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$fh = fopen("php://stdin", "r");
$xz = xzopen("/tmp/test.xz", "w");
while (!feof($fh)) {
fwrite($xz, fgets($fh, 1000));
}
fclose($xz);
?>
payden@arwen:~$ php test.php
testing this out....
stdin...
blah.
payden@arwen:~$ xzcat /tmp/test.xz
testing this out....
stdin...
blah.
payden@arwen:~$

^ xz is not implemented yet, sadly. :-/

The compression results are usually significantly better than those of bzip2.
This feature request currently blocks another one at phpbb:
