Re: how to determine size of gz-handler output

If so, you now have one data point. Your 17280-character string gets turned into 2028 (?) bytes??? To see if this is maybe a correct thesis, snag the HTML output, and run gzip on it, and see if it's 17,280 bytes before and 2028 after. So maybe there's no real way to know what the compressed size is... Unless you want to try to match up your log file entries with your ob_get_contents measurement above. Does gz-handler not provide any facility for measuring its performance or anything?... You'd think it would... -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out? Like Music?
