PHP supports output compression via PHP's ouput buffering features and
the zlib extension.
The simplest way is to use the ob_start ('ob_gzhandler')
or use the configuration options zlib.output_compression
and zlib.compression_level
HTTP_Compress
Alternatively, you can use PEAR's excellent HTTP_Compress class that will
handle everything related to HTTP_Compression for you...
<?php
require_once 'HTTP/Compress.php';
HTTP_Compress::start ();
print "Some data\n";
print "Some more data\n";
print "Even _more_ data\n";
HTTP_Compress::output ();
