Question

I have a PHP script that creates an xml file from the db. I would like to have the script create the xml data and immediately make a .gzip file available for download. Can you please give me some ideas?

Thanks!

You can easily apply gzip compression with the gzencode function.

<? header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=yourFile.xml.gz'); header('Content-type: application/x-gzip');  echo gzencode($xmlToCompress);
