Hey all.
Having a good problem -- our hockey report site has jumped from 10
gigs/month to 30+ gigs/month & growing.
We're getting killed in bandwidth fees at the moment; barring switching to
another host, will utilizing ZLIB compression significantly reduce
bandwidth?
Also, in terms of ZLIB settings, I've ini_set() zlib compression to ON.
Additionally, do I need to ob_start() (& flush) page output?
I am uncertain how to implement the following:
example.php
<?
session_start();
ini_set("zlib.output_compression","ON");
ini_set("zlib.output_compression_level",4);
ob_start();
$page_contents = fopen(** read file contents to variable **);
ob_end_flush();
?>
Thanks for any advice,
--Noah
