Well, to be honest, I really just want to get that ZLib/GZip compression working. It speeds up loading and takes up less bandwidth.
Here are what I tried using (all without success):
1.
<?php
ob_start("ob_gzhandler");
// Output stuff here...
print "stuff";
ob_end_flush();
?>
2.
<?php
// Start the output buffer
ob_start("ob_gzhandler");
// Output stuff here...
print "stuff";
ob_end_flush();
// Tell the browser that they are going to get gzip data
// Of course, you already checked if they support gzip or x-gzip
// and if they support x-gzip, you'd change the header to say
// x-gzip instead, right?
if (strpos($HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING, 'x-gzip') !== false) $encoding = "x-gzip";
if (strpos($HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING,'gzip') !== false) $encoding = "gzip";
header("Content-Encoding: $encoding");
// Display the header of the gzip file
// Thanks [email]ck@medienkombinat.de[/email]!
// Only display this once
echo "\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00";
// Figure out the size and CRC of the original for later
$Size = strlen($contents);
$Crc = crc32($contents);
// Compress the data
$contents = gzcompress($contents, 9);
// We can't just output it here, since the CRC is messed up.
// If I try to "echo $contents" at this point, the compressed
// data is sent, but not completely. There are four bytes at
// the end that are a CRC. Three are sent. The last one is
// left in limbo. Also, if we "echo $contents", then the next
// byte we echo will not be sent to the client. I am not sure
// if this is a bug in 4.0.2 or not, but the best way to avoid
// this is to put the correct CRC at the end of the compressed
// data. (The one generated by gzcompress looks WAY wrong.)
// This will stop Opera from crashing, gunzip will work, and
// other browsers won't keep loading indefinately.
//
// Strip off the old CRC (it's there, but it won't be displayed
// all the way -- very odd)
$contents = substr($contents, 0, strlen($contents) - 4);
// Show only the compressed data
// Output the CRC, then the size of the original
gzip_PrintFourChars($Crc);
gzip_PrintFourChars($Size);
// Done. You can append further data by gzcompressing
// another string and reworking the CRC and Size stuff for
// it too. Repeat until done.
echo $contents;
print pack('V',$Crc);
print pack('V',$Size);
function gzip_PrintFourChars($Val) {
for ($i = 0; $i < 4; $i ++) {
echo chr($Val % 256);
$Val = floor($Val / 256);
}
}
?>
3.
<?php
ob_start();
ob_implicit_flush(0);
function CheckCanGzip(){
global $HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING;
if (headers_sent() || connection_timeout() || connection_aborted()){
return 0;
}
if (strpos($HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING, 'x-gzip') !== false) return "x-gzip";
if (strpos($HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING,'gzip') !== false) return "gzip";
return 0;
}
/* $level = compression level 0-9, 0=none, 9=max */
function GzDocOut($level=1,$debug=0){
$ENCODING = CheckCanGzip();
if ($ENCODING){
print "\n<!-- Use compress $ENCODING -->\n";
$Contents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
if ($debug){
$s = "<p>Not compress length: ".strlen($Contents);
$s .= "<br>Compressed length: ".strlen(gzcompress($Contents,$level));
$Contents .= $s;
}
header("Content-Encoding: $ENCODING");
print "\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00";
$Size = strlen($Contents);
$Crc = crc32($Contents);
$Contents = gzcompress($Contents,$level);
$Contents = substr($Contents, 0, strlen($Contents) - 4);
print $Contents;
print pack('V',$Crc);
print pack('V',$Size);
exit;
}else{
ob_end_flush();
exit;
}
}
