Hi,

I agree, in fact it should be easier to implement the "gzip of the dump feature" that way. Is anybody working on that, I think someone does ?!

Last month, i worked on the gzip dump, just for fun. But, i had problem.

** First method use gzwrite(). Binary-safe gz-file write.

Good : support by php3/php4 Bad : require write access on the server.

** Second method use gzencode(). Create a gzip compressed string

Good : create a gzip compressed string...on the fly Bad : support by >= php4.0.4

What do you think about this ?

I prefer the second one. With a simple test for this feature, like :

if (function_exists('gzencode')) { // gzip dump feature is ok }

Regards,

Armel.
