Look, honestly, for his project it's definitely not worth it you and I both know this.

Speak for yourself.

I'm sure no one who will be using his basic user system will use over a gigabyte of bandwidth.

Who cares? It's about keeping bandwidth down.

Also people viewing it are most likely to have high speed internet and the speed it takes to receive is insignificant.

No it's not, someone accessing from over the world will have a slower page load, compressing it makes it faster.

You've also got to remember that the server has got to compress it and the browser has to uncompress so that adds both to the execution of the script

Are you blind? I said it added .0001 to the time added on a properly coded script. For a .100 + second shrink it's definitely worth it.

and the reading of the page no matter how small it is it's just not worth it.

Yes it is, it's always worth it.

Yes, use it on high volume traffic sites like Source TV but his, no. Argue all you want with yourself now.

Nice cop-out.

Edit: I forgot to mention if he really must use it, I would recommend mod_gzip the apache module.

mod_gzip is outdated, mod_deflate is where it's at.

Jew, I don't get why your such an idiot on this forum, im guessing its down to your lack of social skills in the real world. This is someone argueing about PHP functions, trying to make it apparent that you are good when you couldn't even hold down a job, walking out because you couldn't meet deadlines. Now cut the frankly childish "throwing his toys out of the pram" attitude and give people decent answers that are not here to caus arguements.

Personally, there is no way you should need to use any form of compression on a user system, if anything it would make it longer as you have to compress is server side, then decompress client side.

I did, please read, please learn gzip, please make good posts, please note I walked out because I was bored.

Walking out because you were bored makes it any better? Seriously, how bad of a work-ethic can you have?

No see I get bored with pretty much anything that isn't gaming. Problem I have.
