I started to optimize for speed on your script (++$i, do{}while..etc), but other things came up. Anyways. I was just thinking about how this would actually be useful in other places. Idea - not tested: Use your compression to compress a JSON string. Transport the JSON string to a client with gz compression on top of that and then have javascript decompress it on the other side. Of course, looking into overhead of decompression in javascript might yield this as bad for the end user experience. Nice work.
