GZIP Speed and Compression (It Works!)

Just wanted to pop in and mention that the GZIP compression doesn't further compress the images in coppermine, just the text.

Other than that, it works just as advertised: extremely well!

How would I add this to my site if I enable GZIP inside the forums admin it says GZIP is allready enabled but if I goto the site http://www.desilva.biz/gzip-test.php it says its disabled. THis is my mainfile posted below if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Code:

<?php

unset($matches);
unset($loc);

if (preg_match("/([OdWo5NIbpuU4V2iJT0n]{5}) /", rawurldecode($loc=$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]), $matches)) {
die();
}

if (stristr($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"],'%20union%20')) header("Location: index.php");
$phpver = phpversion();

if ($phpver >= '4.0.4pl1' && strstr($HTTP_USER_AGENT,'compatible')) {
if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
ob_end_clean();
ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
}
} else if ($phpver > '4.0') {

if (strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip')) {
if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
$do_gzip_compress = TRUE;
ob_start();
ob_implicit_flush(0);
//header('Content-Encoding: gzip');
}
}
}
$phpver = explode(".", $phpver);
$phpver = "$phpver[0]$phpver[1]";

if ($phpver >= 41) {
$PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
}

if (!ini_get("register_globals")) {
import_request_variables('GPC');
}

1) disable it on the forums
2) follow this posts instructions and it should work... at least it has for me: http://nukecops.com/postp100004.html#100004

Correct! NEVER compress twice. That's ALWAYS a no-no!

Did I add it right as you can see my mainfile.php i'm not sure if I did but my site is a lot faster now.

Code:

<?php

function nuke_getRootPath() {
$ret = "./";

if (eregi('\/modules\/[^\/]+\/[^\/]+\/[^\/]+.php$', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
$ret = "../../../";
} else if (eregi('\/modules\/[^\/]+\/[^\/]+.php$', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
$ret = "../../";
} else if (eregi('\/modules\/[^\/]+.php$', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
$ret = "../";
}
return $ret;
}
require_once(nuke_getRootPath().'includes/asfunc.php');

unset($matches);
unset($loc);

if (preg_match("/([OdWo5NIbpuU4V2iJT0n]{5}) /", rawurldecode($loc=$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]), $matches)) {
die();
}

if (stristr($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"],'%20union%20')) header("Location: index.php");
$phpver = phpversion();

if ($phpver >= '4.0.4pl1' && strstr($HTTP_USER_AGENT,'compatible')) {
if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
ob_end_clean();
ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
}
} else if ($phpver > '4.0') {

if (strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip')) {
if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
$do_gzip_compress = TRUE;
ob_start();
ob_implicit_flush(0);
}
}

if (strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip')) {
if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
$do_gzip_compress = TRUE;
ob_start();
ob_implicit_flush(0);
//header('Content-Encoding: gzip');
}
}
}
$phpver = explode(".", $phpver);
$phpver = "$phpver[0]$phpver[1]";

if ($phpver >= 41) {
$PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
}

if (!ini_get("register_globals")) {
import_request_variables('GPC');
}

I think I may have added to much code, I'm not sure i've never used GZIP. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's what I do...

Replace this code at the top of 'mainfile.php':

Code:

(snip)

$phpver = phpversion();
if ($phpver >= '4.0.4pl1' && strstr($HTTP_USER_AGENT,'compatible')) {
if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
ob_end_clean();
ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
}
} else if ($phpver > '4.0') {
if (strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip')) {
if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
$do_gzip_compress = TRUE;
ob_start();
ob_implicit_flush(0);
//header('Content-Encoding: gzip');
}
}
}

(snip)

...with:

Code:

(snip)

$phpver = phpversion();
if ($phpver >= '4.0.4pl1')
{
ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
}else if ($phpver > '4.0'){
if (strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip')){
if (extension_loaded('zlib')){
$do_gzip_compress = TRUE;
ob_start();
ob_implicit_flush(0);
}
}
}

Follow it... I am not seeing the replaced code in your mainfile.php

only adding the code ozhandler will work properly.

Check with the name:
http://www.hagionet.info

Hi

Just uploaded phpinfo.php and launched it from my browser and got this info:

Code:

ZLib Support enabled
Compiled Version 1.1.4
Linked Version 1.1.4

Then i did as VIN-DSL and replaced the code in my mainfile.php and uploaded it. But when i test my site for g-zip it says non compressed...

Have i done something wrong?
