How to get send gzip content as PHP response

Question

my ajax response is very large its actually 900kb. so I need to gzip to improve the performance.

can anyone please help me to get gziped content from my php.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Before outputing anything on the page throw in this:

ob_start("ob_gzhandler");

Then after your content follow it up with:

ob_end_flush();

And your content will be gzipped

Answer 2

Option 1:

configure zlib.output_compression in your php.ini

Doc: http://www.php.net/manual/en/zlib.configuration.php#ini.zlib.output-compression

Option 2:

Use : ob_gzhandler

Doc: http://php.net/manual/en/function.ob-gzhandler.php

Note:

900Kb is too much for an ajax response.

Answer 3

If you cannot update your php.ini config file before using ob_gzhandler() you could try this too:

ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 1);
