Actually that's not correct.
If you have zlib compression enabled in PHP you shouldn't turn on the games gzip compression. When zlib is enabled in php then all web output from the server is gzip compressed by default.
Using the games gzip compression is only for use on servers that do not have site wide zlib compression enabled in php. Enabling the games gzip on a server with zlib compression enabled means you will be gzipping already gzipped data thereby creating total garbage output.
Ok, after some more deeper looking I've noticed some else.
When zlib is turned off in the php.ini I can Enable Gzip in the game
at all compression levels BUT When I run the install.php It shows
something strange. It shows I can enable G-zip compression But
it also Shows Zlib Output compression to be Turned off.
When I turn zlib compression on in the php.ini and turn G-zip off
in the the settings the Install.php shows not only can I enable G-zip
But Now the Zlib compression shows to Be Enabled also.
Is this Right? If this is working as designed this would be Very Confusing
to people. My problem the whole time was I was trying to turn Gzip on
while the zlib compression was enabled in the Php.ini file.
I did this Because I figured if the Zlib compression showed to be disabled
in the Install.php file then the Gzip couldnt possible be working even if it
said I could turn it on. And when I enabled Gzip in the settings thats when
I got the pick a program to open with message. I'm Sure This has probably
confused other people too.
I agree with what your saying and wondered about it myself.
I see no speed differences in the two configurations and since
by running with the zlib compression enabled in the Php.ini
causes System Wide Gzip I will leave it at that. Thats the
configuration I've been running the whole time anyway. It's
Nice to Know My Web Server Compress's ALL Php Output in
Gzip format.
This Finally clears up something I worked at and wondered
about for a Long Time. Thanks Guys...
