- Using the option zlib.output_compression results in a garbled browser content because the Content-Encoding: zlib header is not sent (but the content is correctly compressed). - Using ob_start ('ob_gzhandler') does work (=> zlib is installed right, not a browser problem) - Adding a Header ('Content-Encoding: zlib') does work for the page itself but fails for images (phpinfo () does show text but no images) Fix: The problem seems to be that the zlib is not build with together with the apache module. There is #ifdef HAVE_ZLIB in the main/SAPI.c that writes the Content-Encoding header. To solve the problem I did add the line 'CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --with-zlib=/usr --with-zlib-dir=/usr' to the www/mod_php5/Makefile. This solves the problem (but bundles the zlib extension). How-To-Repeat: In FreeBSD 5.3 Install apache 1.3 + mod_php5 + mod_zlib and edit php.ini to set zlib.output_compression=On
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->ale Over to maintainer of archivers/php5-zlib, which, as best I can tell, this PR is about. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=76331 Adding to audit trail from misfiled PRs 79867 and 79871. Note to submitter: sending patches via quoted-printable utterly destroys them. Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2005 18:29:22 +0300

Good catch! I'll try it asap and if it is really so I'll commit it. PHP devs claimed for years that this was an unsolvable issue in php4 ;-) -- Alex Dupre
