Simple gz compression

GeorgeB · 06-24-2005, 08:38 AM

Want to use gz compression on your PHP pages to compress pages and save bandwidth without affecting performance?

Use the PHP ob_gzhandler callback function.

Here is an example of it's use:

Code:

<?php

ob_start("ob_gzhandler");

?>
<html>
<body>
<p>This should be a compressed page.</p>
</html>
<body>

That's right... a simple line at the beginning of your PHP file is all it takes! Try it yourself in your own custom, paid, or free PHP applications

Note: ob_gzhandler() requires the zlib extension.

Hey George, I use currently at my custom script one page only index.php which calls all other pages as includes depending on the 'mode' value. Do I input this line in the index page only? or the includes as well? ~

And it needs to become at the very top right below session_start(); ?
