zlib? gzip?

[crj]

how do i use zlib or gzip to compress php scripts on my site?

do i put something inside htaccess or something?

[wm2k1]

edit ur php.ini file
extension=php_zlib.dll

[crj]

thats it?

and it'll compress automatically by itself?

Are you talking about *nix or Windows?

[is0lized]

note it will take up more cpu usage

Put this at the top of your (php) scripts and, if your server supports zlib/gzip...



<?php
$phpver = phpversion();
if($phpver >= '4.0.4pl1')
{
if(extension_loaded('zlib'))
{
ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
}
}
else if($phpver > '4.0')
{
if(strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip'))
{
if(extension_loaded('zlib'))
{
ob_start();
ob_implicit_flush(0);
header('Content-Encoding: gzip');
}
}
}
?>
