 Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2005 12:16 am Post subject: PHP Gzip Compression [Updated] |
 |
|
Edit: This was a PHP issue I was having. I would like it to be moved to the
tutorials now if possible. Thank You!
Using PHP you can greatly reduce bandwidth being sent to your visitors by
compressing the pages on the fly. Enjoy!
Using this Gzip Content Compression:
Install PHP and declare the HTML file extensions as Associated Extensions
in the Scripting Parameters for PHP. Now use the following code.
PHP Installation
http://www.trustabyss.com/php_install.html
| Code: | <?php
ob_start("ob_gzhandler");
?>
<!-- Insert HTML -->
|
Note: The Gzip isn't enabled on a Mac, Linux type of OS. You need to manually
compile PHP in order to get this extension enabled on other OS's.
Compressing CSS Code!
| Code: | <style type="text/css">
<!--
<?php
include("external_style.css");
?>
-->
</style>
|
The following CSS code should be included in the html pages with the
Gzip Content Compression code above. You will need to do this to all
of your CSS included web pages.
Replace this CSS code with the external style sheet code. Since this
same file will be included in every page, you don't need the external
style sheet code. This will compress your HTML and CSS.
Note: Replace the CSS file path with yours.
Note: This could even work with your exteral JavaScript files in the exact
same way. Just replace the style sheet tags with JavaScript ones.
Testing your Gzip

| Code: | Example 1. Creating a gzip file
<?php
$data = implode("", file("bigfile.txt"));
$gzdata = gzencode($data, 9);
$fp = fopen("bigfile.txt.gz", "w");
fwrite($fp, $gzdata);
fclose($fp);
?> |

I too would love to use this.
I know it can be done as I have seen it in action.
The only site I can think of off hand that does this is http://bsgonlinegames.com, or more speicifially, the game scripts (E.G. Run the test on http://starkingdoms.com/scripts/main.php and it shows up as compressed)

It doesnt compress them on your hard drive, it compresses them before sending them to the client browser.

I just updated the Gzip Tutorial. You now have the option to compress your
CSS and even JavaScript. I also wrote a guide to tell you what you should do
in order to compress your web pages to the maximum extent.
Compressing your page Completely.

Note: This was a PHP issue I was having but now I would like it to be moved
to the tutorials if possible. Thank You!
