ID: 20551 Comment by: sroussey@network54.com Reported By: sroussey@network54.com Status: Feedback Bug Type: Output Control Operating System: RedHat 7.2 PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: I tried with 4.3RC2. Bug still exists, crashing at least 13 times in the couple of minutes the server was able to run with Zend accelerator... I HATE this bug. Grr. I case I can take the time to do a walkthrough since it still exists...

Also images won't be compressed automatically. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-27 14:02:12] sroussey@network54.com zlib.output_compression is PHP_INI_SYSTEM|PHP_INI_PERDIR so it can't be set in a script according to the manual (ini_set). Is this correct? Does this change in 4.3? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-27 13:55:13] sroussey@network54.com Using ini_set ( "zlib.output_compression", 1);// or "On" or 4096 ... instead of: ob_start ('ob_gzhandler'); does not actually compress pages... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-27 13:12:35] sroussey@network54.com The problem with setting it system wide is that it will try to compress images and javascripts. No browser likes compressed images and Netscape dies on compressed javascripts. Or are you suggesting that I use: ini_set ( "zlib.output_compression", 1); instead of: ob_start ('ob_gzhandler'); ?? Does this work in PHP 4.2.3? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
