#35936 [NEW]: ini.zlib.output-compression Documentation

From: sBoisvert at bryxal dot ca Operating system: XP PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: ini.zlib.output-compression Documentation Description: ------------ This has either not been fixed or crept back in. (Bug #17299) The documentation on http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/ref.zlib.php#ini.zlib.output-compression it states zlib.output_compression boolean/integer .... In runtime, it can be set only before sending any output. but any attempts to set ini_set("zlib.output_compression", "on"); ini_set("zlib.output_compression_level", 5); will NOT compress data before sending it. Either this is a bug that slipped in lately or a documentation problem. A comment has already been left by someone on this page commenting on his inability to make this work. Thank you Reproduce code: --------------- ini_set("zlib.output_compression", "on"); ini_set("zlib.output_compression_level", 5); echo(ini_get("zlib.output_compression")); Expected result: ---------------- compressed: on Actual result: -------------- uncompressed: on -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35936&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35936&r=mysqlcfg
