ob_gzhandler alternative

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 11.2009

as far as I have read, ob_start(ob_gzhandler) will return false if a browser does not support compression and will compress the contents of the buffer otherwise. Is there an alternative to this? I have the issue with my wamp saying that there is a conflict between zlib output compression and ob_gzhandler. I still want to compress my data, can i do something like ob_start(zlib_output_compression)? I am a little out of my depth at the moment and really want to understand this issue.
Cheers in advance
Luke

@SrWebDeveloperDec 11.2009 — In .htaccess in your document root try this:

php_value zlib.output_compression off

Then in your code use ob_start(ob_gzhandler) as you did before. This callback function to ob_start determines what type of content encoding the browser will accept and will return its output accordingly according to php.net.
