RE: [PHP] zlib1.1.3 and ob_gzhandler

I was using ob_gzhandler with PHP4.0.4, and everything was fine. I was using an older version of gd and zlib, though (I think 1.8.3 and 1.1.2, respectively -- but I'm not certain). There are no errors in the apache log. -----Original Message----- From: Zeev Suraski [mailto:zeev@zend.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2001 04:07 To: Martin Helie Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] zlib1.1.3 and ob_gzhandler Were you using output compression with previous versions of PHP? Did it work with images in these versions? Also, are you seeing any errors in your Web server's error log?
