Enable gzip on plain HTML or SHTML index

[webgraf]

I tested my php sites with your code <? ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); ?> and it works fine!
Is there a way force html files to gzip onfly, or I have to gzip and unzip every time I make some changes on page?
Thanks.

Your question confuses me. If you are using the php code, then you are gzip'ing on the fly. If you manually gzip the file, then it won't work at all with the php code.

Hello, I find solution to my question and this is it (put it in .htaccess file if you have mod_deflate enabled on server)

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
<FilesMatch "\.(js|css|html|shtml|php)$">
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

It compress html,  js, css, shtml but won't work with php files! So I have to combine it with  <? ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); ?>  on my index.php and it works fine in firefox, safari...but I have some problems with IE 7 on PC. It seams that IE 7 goes to quirks mode and I have "show" with CSS layout because IE7 does not allow comment before doctype. So I search for solution that this (htacess) works for php files too.
