Name: GZip Compression

Description: Compresses urls sent through the PHP Acceleration at level 3 pace. Shouldn't really go higher than that.

To test whether or not it will work on your server, run this test: https://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/upload/00006378/compression_test.txt and rename it .php.

Uh, the Accelerator does this already automatically... There is no need to hack something in that already exists.

Does it compress to a higher level? Does it work without php_zlib.dll?

Yes, it compresses to a higher level. I've noticed speed improvements with this. It can compress from levels 1 to 9, but the higher you go the higher chance that it'll error and output something binary.

I think it does need the dll file, not totally for sure.

CGI Buffer works for me, shows alot of change too. Probably not as fast as the accelarator though, right?

it is actually faster.. cuz PHP is really really fast.. faster than CGI ofcourse

I think Mod_GZip is faster and alot more configurable.

Mod_GZip?? :S *confuzzled* care to educate me o' wise Haxxor

mod_gzip is a Perl Module that's used to accelerate content on the Internet. Click here for more information regarding it.

That is the old link/home. It has since been taken over and can now be found here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mod-gzip/

And here:
http://www.schroepl.net/projekte/mod_gzip/

Actually, it is an Apache module

Bizzare double posted after an edit...

Ok I give up editing it seems to double quote my message and act like a new post

mod_gzip is a standard Apache 'plug in' module and is loaded the same way as any other Apache module(s).

brett: do you have any stats to show how this affects performance?
