[Phpmyadmin-devel] dumps and php.ini

[jeremy brand]

This setting in php.ini doesn't MAKE the transmission be compressed, it
only compresses if the client asks for it and is supported by php.

So, if the client asks for it compressed, I say go ahead and let them have
it compressed.

I don't think this will present an error with the ob_ code in phpMyAdmin
-- ie, having it _on_ in both places.

It is really doing the same thing, but instead of on a system level
(php.ini) it is doing it on an application level -- so, what ob_* is
providing in phpMyAdmin is actually of bennifit, because many users of
phpMyAdmin run their software on servers that they _do_not_ have system
administrator rights on.

BTW, it _should_ be only compressed durring transmission.  It should
arrive from the client software (web brower) to the user (the human) and
presented to be saved as non-compressed.
