Enabling gZIP

[netutgamer]

Ok I've tried a couple of methods of enabling gZip and I can't seem to get either of them to work. Can anyone lend a hand who's already tried this?

I'm testing using the checker here: http://www.gidnetwork.com/tools/gzip-test.php and using Google's page analyser plug-in to firebug.

I've tried the method shown here (both PHP and .htaccess) : http://betterexplained.com/articles/...p-compression/

and the method here : http://www.desilva.biz/php/zlib.html

and this one : http://www.jhuskisson.com/articles/a...e-via-htaccess

*scratches head*

None of them seem to be compressing my content. Any advice?

Edit your .htaccess file and add these lines at the top

php_value output_buffering on
php_flag zlib.output_compression on
php_value zlib.output_compression_level 5
