Hello, inside php.ini file there's a special configuration: ; Transparent output compression using the zlib library ; Valid values for this option are 'off', 'on', or a specific ; buffer size to be used for compression (default is 4KB) zlib.output_compression = On this way pages will be parsed, compressed, and then sent to the browser. Does anybody know of pros & cons of using this configuration? Which browsers support zlib compression? Thanks, LevyNetscape 4.x *says* it supports compression, but it doesn't uncompress when printing, so if you use the compression method, your netscape 4 users will be at a loss if they want to print. Maybe this will force them to upgrade (finally) but probably not. Michael Kimsal http://www.phphelpdesk.com Guaranteed PHP support when you need it 734-480-9961
