ob_gzhandler ob_start callback function to gzip output buffer Description stringob_gzhandler stringbuffer intmode ob_gzhandler is intended to be used as a callback function for ob_start to help facilitate sending gz-encoded data to web browsers that support compressed web pages. Before ob_gzhandler actually sends compressed data, it determines what type of content encoding the browser will accept ("gzip", "deflate" or none at all) and will return its output accordingly. All browsers are supported since it's up to the browser to send the correct header saying that it accepts compressed web pages. mode was added in PHP 4.0.5. <function>ob_gzhandler</function> example
