I get no output at all.
All DoCache does is write $buffer to a file then return $buffer since I use
this for some other serverside caching to save on database hits.
I have other areas that I call ob_start("ob_gzhandler") and that works fine
but when I call in via DoCache it breaks.
I much prefer your idea of mod_deflate. I will look into that since I
believe that belongs in apache rather than a PHP program also.
I am still curious why it doesn't work though.
Here is my "True" DoCache function:
function docache ($buffer) {
$fp=fopen(cachefilename(), "w");
if($fp)
fputs($fp,$buffer);
return ob_gzhandler($buffer);
}
cachefilename() simply returns an MD5 of the requested URI.
This will return a blank webpage in IE and Mozilla. When I take out
ob_gzhandler it then works fine.
Thanks,
Serge.
