I have a php file that do:
echo(gzcompress("TEST COMPRESS"));
and on javascript i do a request on php and i want a function that do the same of gzuncompress(data) for take the result = “TEST COMPRESS” again on client side.
EDIT: Thank you @aaronk6, zlib worked!
If someone ready this question, the zlib will works if the php is with gzencode(), gzcompress will not work.

As @SLaks pointed out, this is might be pointless, however here’s an answer to your question.
Browsers do not have a uncompress method that is accessible from JavaScript, so there’s no equivalent. When you want to decompress gzipped data in JavaScript, you will need to use a JavaScript implementation of the gzip algorithm.
There’s zlib.js which seems to be capable of doing this.
