Sending Compressed Documents in PHP 5.x

ob_gzhandler doesn't seem to work

[Jeremy_H]

I used to use PHP 4.x on my website, but then I upgraded to 5.x.

Since the upgraded, it seems my method of sending out compressed documents of my site no longer works.

Under 4.x, at the top of all my PHP pages, I was able to add the line:

<?php ob_start("ob_gzhandler");?>

How do I send out compressed documents in PHP 5.x?

Thanks

Note: ob_gzhandler() requires the zlib [us3.php.net] extension.

Are you sure you have this extension correctly installed?

Thanks for the reply,

I believe so. If I go to phpinfo(); I get:

ZLib Support enabled
Compiled Version 1.1.4
Linked Version 1.1.4
