note 34556 added to function.gzcompress

I find this works well, save the snip below in your php/ directory then edit your prepend.php file and add a require statement that requires the compression.php file below. Once complete watch (tail -f) your php error log to see the results of compression in action. <?php // Gzip encode the contents of the output buffer. function compress_output_option($output) { // Compress the data into a new var. $compressed_out = gzencode($output); // Don't compress any pages less than 1000 bytes // as it's not worth the overhead at either side. if(strlen($output) >= 1000) { error_log('compression.php Gzipd Output'."\n" .'Before compression size ' .strlen($output).' bytes'."\n" .' After compression size ' .strlen($compressed_out).' bytes'); // Tell the browser the content is compressed with gzip header("Content-Encoding: gzip"); return $compressed_out; } else { // No compression error_log('compression.php Standard Output.'); return $output; } } // Check if the browser supports gzip encoding, HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING if (strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip')) { // Start output buffering, and register compress_output() (see // below) ob_start("compress_output_option"); } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gzcompress.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+34556 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+34556&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+34556&report=yes
