CI 3 Page is not loading (About compress_output) - marksman - 06-16-2016
Hi, I'm new in CodeIgniter and I want to use compress_output to my application and the page is not loading when I'm going to echo a query result. anyone can help me please?

The first thing you want to do is make sure you follow the instructions in the CodeIgniter config/config.php file.
I think you missed the part that states "Do not 'echo' any values with compression enabled."

I'm so sorry for missing to read the instruction. atleast now I know. thanks for being helpful. but I still have a question, Is it possible to compress specific pages in codeigniter?

Hey no problem glad I could help.
If you want to do it on a page by page basis you probably want to extend the output library to enable/disable it dynamically.
something like:
$this->output->enable_compression(true); or $this->output->enable_compression(false);
You probably want to do something like in the output constructor to determine if it's even possible and then set outputs _compress_output appropriately. The library then should do the rest.
Hope that helps.

I didn't try this code out but, it should get you rolling.
http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/core_classes.html?highlight=my_#extending-core-class
Code:
<?php
class MY_Output extends CI_Output {
public function enable_compression($enable=true) {
/* if true */
if ($enable) {
/* are the right libraries even present? */
$this->_zlib_oc = (bool)ini_get('zlib.output_compression');
$this->_compress_output = ($this->_zlib_oc === FALSE && extension_loaded('zlib'));
} else {
/* guess you are turning it off */
$this->_compress_output = false;
}
/* chain-able */
return $this;
}
} /* end class */Then in your controller you could use $this->output->enable_compression() to turn it on.
