zlib? gzip?

[crj]

how do i use zlib or gzip to compress php scripts on my site?

do i put something inside htaccess or something?

 

[wm2k1]

edit ur php.ini file
extension=php_zlib.dll

 

[crj]

thats it?

and it'll compress automatically by itself?

Are you talking about *nix or Windows?

 

[is0lized]

note it will take up more cpu usage

Put this at the top of your (php) scripts and, if your server supports zlib/gzip...

<?php
$phpver = phpversion();
if($phpver >= '4.0.4pl1')
{
	if(extension_loaded('zlib'))
	{
		ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
	}
}
else if($phpver > '4.0')
{
	if(strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip'))
	{
		if(extension_loaded('zlib'))
		{
			ob_start();
			ob_implicit_flush(0);
			header('Content-Encoding: gzip');
		}
	}
}
?>
