Re: Header order problems.

Try a more recent version of Apache. PHP can't set the order of headers. All PHP does it fill in the response header table and Apache decides what order to send them in. So, if it is a bug, it is an Apache bug, but since you are using an ancient version of Apache I wouldn't try to track it down until you have tested it in a recent version. -Rasmus On Wed, 26 Jul 2000, Steven Herod wrote: > I'm trying to write out a gzip'ed file and using the following code: > > <? > ob_start(); > header("Content-type: text/html"); > header("Content-Encoding: gzip"); > > $data = > "<html><head><title>stuff</title></head><body>This is a > test of co$ > echo gzcompress($data); > > ob_end_flush(); > ?> > > And no matter how hard I try, Content-type: text/html is always outputted > after Content-Encoding: gzip > > These are the outputted headers: > > HTTP/1.1 200 OK > Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2000 03:20:04 GMT > Server: Apache/1.3.4 (Unix) FrontPage/4.0.4.3 > Content-Encoding: gzip > Connection: close > Content-Type: text/html > > Try as I might, I can't get the encoding to appear after the type (even if > I do explicit flush() calls after each header.
