Hi, does anyone have a better tutorial on howto compress using zlib in PHP. If not, feel free to include your own. I'm a bit confused by the php manual ---> http://si.php.net:8888/manual/en/ref.zlib.php

Thanks,
Dave

Hi,

I suggest this page:

http://www.whatsmyip.org/mod_gzip_test/

That page will test to see if you have correctly installed it, and the link right above that white box is the box you need to get it to work:

Note: If you have your own webserver (you configure your own php.ini file) then I would suggest using a *nix server rather than a windows server as I have tried it on a windows server and couldn't get it to work...

Good Luck!

hahah, its been over 2 years since i made that post....hahahaha How the time flies.

You can config apache to use zlib or somtheing similar to enable http compression. pretty nice results on it too.
