Gzipped content?

[Beau]

I recently uploaded the latest version of my site: http://lilbro.net/ and ran into a problem with the .htaccess fuction:

php_value output_handler ob_gzhandler

The problem being that my site re-direction headers (I'm assuming) and other things won't work without that, I don't know why, but Bihira doesn't seem to allow that and it returns a 500 error.

I'm not really sure what's wrong if you could please help me.

Here is one of the errors that come up....


<i>Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/lilbrone/public_html/header.php:32) in /home/lilbrone/public_html/members/login.php on line 20

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/lilbrone/public_html/header.php:32) in /home/lilbrone/public_html/members/login.php on line 21

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/lilbrone/public_html/header.php:32) in /home/lilbrone/public_html/members/login.php on line 22
Log In</i>


And here is the file: login.php

<i><?php
$location = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$username = htmlentities($_POST['username']);
$password = md5($_POST['password']);
$varify = mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT user_id FROM users WHERE user_name = '$username' AND password = '$password'"));

if ($varify == 1) {
define('no_error', true);
}
else {
header("Location: /members/login_error.php");
}
}

if(defined('no_error'))
{
setcookie("lilbro_username", $username, time()+7776000, "/");
setcookie("lilbro_password", $password, time()+7776000, "/");
header("Location: $location");
}
?>


<form action="<?= htmlentities($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) ?>" method="post">
<fieldset>
<legend>
Log In
</legend>

<input type="text" class="login_box" id="username" name="username" />
<input type="password" class="login_box" id="password" name="password" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login" id="login_button" />

</fieldset>
</form></i>


Help is greatly appreciated!

The 500 errro is because we no longer allow php value changes in .htaccess. You can still do php value changes, but you will need to create a php.ini file in the directory you want that value to be changed.

In the php.ini you would put a php value like this:

output_handler ob_gzhandler

However since php.ini isn't .htaccess, it acts differently. You will need to upload a php.ini file with that code for each directory you want it to effect.

For example, say you uploaded a php.ini file into public_html with the value output_handler ob_gzhandler. It will only effect public_html folder, so if you want the same value to work for another directory (for example public_html/files/), you will need to upload another php.ini file into that folder as well.

Ok, thanks. I ended up putting ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); into my header.....

That's too bad about the .htaccess though.
