thenewperson Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I read somewhere that its possible to compress a file before uploading it to speed up the upload proccess and all i had to do was add gzip=yes to the php.ini file. Is this all i have to do for the file to compress? will i see compressed form or will it decompress once its finished uploading? Also does php.ini work when you test it in xampp? I tryed adding gzip=yes to the xampp but havnt tryed it on the website yet. The xampp one failed so i was wondering.

dawsba Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 gzip compression is an apache mod, you can enable this through htaccess or if u have cpanel. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/184864-compressing-files/#findComment-975839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamatomic Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Best way is to put this at the start of each page. It is portable and you dont have to play with php.ini or setup mod_gzip: ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/184864-compressing-files/#findComment-976376 Share on other sites More sharing options...
