I don't know about you daniel, but I don't think it's enabled...I searched the page for "gzip" and all I could find was the stuff my browser said it would accept.

Actually, it is enabled. What you have to look for is zlib.

So, Milchbazi, the code you can use instead is the following (tell us if it works Smile

):

Code:

// Gzips the page, to save on bandwidth
ob_start('ob_gzhandler');

I don't know if it works. I put it on the top of the script, but how can I see the compression? But what I can say for sure: No errors. So it doesn't work or it works without errors Confused

no errors is always a good sign...if it wasn't enabled you'd get a warning at least.

But is there a way to find out if it works properly? Or the status of the compression - like my script where it comes: gzcompressed: 2.44 kb uncompressed: 7.63 kb or so?

Do you know how it phpBB2 does? It's the best forum I know and it has a lot of good features and a proper script.

If you check out, leknor.com there's a script to check if your page is being gzipped:
