Gzip compression with php - any way to exclude certain files by name?

[Bottyz]

Hey all,

 

I prepend and append php files with gzip compression code. Currently i can achieve this with the code below which will prepend/append every php file, however, i want to be able to exclude certain php pages from this.

 

The current code in my .htaccess is this:

php_value auto_prepend_file begin_gzip.php
php_value auto_append_file end_gzip.php

 

Which obviously compresses all php files. The begin_gzip.php is as follows:

 

<?php ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); ?>

 

and the end_gzip.php is:

 

<?php ob_flush(); ?>

 

The pages i want to exclude contain php download scripts which stop working with the compression enabled. So is there a way to exclude these files by name or am i going to have to add the begin/end code to each individual php page i want to compress?

 

Any help would be much appreciated as i've exhausted google and i'm stuck now.

You may be able to use filesmatch:

<FilesMatch ^(these|file|names|are|excluded)\.php$>
   #Disable prepend for these scripts
</FilesMatch>

 

I'm too tired to figure anything else, but this isn't really PHP rather a .htaccess question.
