yup.
what you need is ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); at the beginning of the bit you
want to compress, usually at the top of the script and //ob_end_flush(); to
send the output to the browser.
bit of a time lag as the browser decompresses but should save you a bomb on
bandwidth.
check out the php manual for the full descriptions.
