Hi Steve http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-gzhandler.php
http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/OutputBuffering/page8.html Basically it allows output to be compressed with gzip encoding as it's sent to the browser. I had a webpage that was part of an admin section of a website, it was 153K in size and getting a lot of hits. The result now is the page gets compressed to 17K and therefore uses less bandwidth/faster to download, this all happens transparently from the visitors point of view.
