[phpa] Re: mod_gzip and PHP

mod_gzip works perfectly with PHPA and PHP since it compresses OUTGOING
data from the httpd.

Here is an example of a gzipped page (this page is the vBulletin front
for my site):

http://leknor.com/code/gziped.php?url=http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/
index.php

The gzipped size is 9798 Bytes
Regular size is 102332 Bytes.

It's a HUGE (over 90% decrease in filesize).

The only thing is, on busy servers it's processor and I/O intensive but
so far with 200 people browsing my board server load averages stay at
around .40 - .60. (Running 2 separate servers db/http each with dual
1.26 GHz, SCSI Raid 5 and 2 GB of memory).

If you go to the URL above you can see that I'm using PHPA 1.3.1 Pre3 as
well.  If your server can handle it, turn on gzip.  Modem users will
love you, it saves you bandwidth and like Nick said, each send is
processed quicker meaning less simultaneous sends.

Hi!

I always thought mod_gzip would only work on -static- pages, on not on
dynamic, on-the-fly generated pages like when using PHP!?
