Hi Cyberman,

Here's the reply I received back from my hosting company.

"Yes. Most of our Web servers have WinZip installed or at least another program that can handle compressed file formats such a .gzip.

Alternatively, you can log into the Web server using PuTTY over SSH and use the gunzip utility there as well."

Does that help?

gzip support is part of the php package installed.
if you download and install the system configuration utility, you cans ee if gzip is installed, it's in the apache environment section, should say something there if it's installed!

Not really  ...

Go to your admin panel, menu extension>userdefined tags, create there a tag named info, put command
inside and save it.

Create a new page and insert there only {info}. Call this page from frontend.

Then you will see if your php package has gzip support.

Thanks  Cyberman,

I created the page like you said:  http://www.goulbournsoccer.ca/index.php?page=info

Sorry, not too sure what I'm looking for now

Thanks,

Look at headline zlib. zlib is active but I see zlib.output_compression is "Off".

Perhaps I should add a function to check if gzip is supported and create a version for users without that.

Would you be my beta tester?

On my accounts I have every time gzip support  ...

Sure....let me know how I can help out.

I've gotten so much help from you and others form this forum, I would be more than happy to lend a hand.

Thanks,

OK, need some time now (I'm a little bit busy at moment) ...

I asked my hosting company to turn the zlib option on [zlib.output_compression = "On"], and I still get this error while trying to use the ccontent tag:

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any longer. in e:\web\public_html\wms\goulbourn\plugins\function.ccontent.php on line 54

could it be as simple as... iis isn't as good at serving php pages as apache on linux?
