note 56550 added to function.ob-gzhandler

So why doesn't the web server just do this by default? This works for me if I do: ini_set('zlib.output_compression_level', 3); ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); or even just: ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); I did the level 3 compression, I think the default was 6 and I didn't want to put too much load on the server. For a 895k file (my largest) the compression levels were: 1 = 189k 3 = 178k 4 = 163k 6 = 156k (I believe 6 is the default if you leave out the ini_set) 9 = 155k I use http://www.whatsmyip.org/mod_gzip_test/ to check the sizes. FYI: This works with dynamic files in Movable Type 3.x (I'm testing it in 3.2) I've got the above command in the first line of my mtview.php file. More info here: http://www.whatsmyip.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=43 On several sites I've read the some browsers don't like compressed CSS. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-gzhandler.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56550 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56550&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56550&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56550&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56550&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56550&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56550&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56550&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
