Pushing out php pages faster?

4rxsid

Hi all,

I have a page that is quite large, very little photos so that's not the issue.
I have a lot of php code and some javascript being done inside 1 large table.
This table has many nested tables with the above mentioned code types.
The php code does things like loading arrays and reading from text files.
How can I get the php code (or even javascript/html) to be "pushed" out faster, or "pre-loaded"?
Is there a general method or idea that can be applied w/o me posting all the various code here? I just need to know where to start researching this.

Would Caching work?
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if this is what you are asking, but if you want the page to be able to be downloaded quicker, then use the gz_handler function with output buffering...

ob_start('gz_handler');

put that at the top of your script before anything is output. That will compress the pages before they are sent to the browser.

4rxsid

that does seem to work great!
after putting this at the top of my page:

ob_start("ob_gzhandler");

do I need to "stop" the ob_start, or anything similar?

thanks!

When the script ends, the buffer is automatically flushed, but you could put ob_end_flush(); at the end of your script if you wanted. But it isn't required.

You can, instead, add the following to your .htaccess file:

php_value output_handler ob_gzhandler
