Re: send a file or stream

Thank you very much Curt!, I'm tests right now with this. The client is not a web browser, it is an application that calls the .php file with $_GET params, and the app waits to receive the file compressed, this is the way I want it to work! I'll let u know about this. But anyway thank you Rafa PS: what is that ob_start though? On 8/31/06, Curt Zirzow <czirzow@gmail.com> wrote:

Unlike my recent posts, this could be a candidate for using ob_* There is no need to compress it first, just use ob_start('ob_gzhandler'); if the client supports a compression method, no special things are needed and the content sent is compressed otherwise it is sent without compression. see http://php.net/ob-gzhandler for more info.
