This is a rather simple example of usage for this function, but it does work, and it solved a problem I was using with old browsers accessing gzipped files.
<?PHP
ob_start();
readgzfile("test.html.gz"); the browser
file
ob_end_flush(); ?>
There is no need for any html formating if the source file is an HTML formated page, such as the ones I'm using are. Checking the browser version, sends either the gzip file directly, or sends the browser to a page like this, which does the work for it. Well done simple function.
My server is running PHP 4.2.2 on Linux Redhat version 9 and
Apache 2.0.40
gzwrite
