That is not an option, as it can create more security holes, and I believe it will not work in same cases with PHP in safe mode.
I fully agree.
Would there possibly be a way, that we can compress the dump statements one by one as we send them?
I can't imagine a way to do this: - you can not send headers to enforce download and headers to reload the script in the same time; - you can not compress by parts as far as I know (ie compress the beginning of the dump, then append a second compressed part of the dump....).
