zlib support

[James_P]

I'm looking at a CMS and they say the following:

YOU NEED MYSQL, XML AND ZLIB SUPPORT COMPILED/ENABLED IN YOUR PHP.

The first two are fine however I am not sure if JPC offer the zlib support. Can anyone confirm this please?

Great. Thanks for you help.

Actually, the reference Vin made is just to the manual for ZLib, not the actual library--but the library should be on the server somewhere, too.

The easiest way to check for it (or anything that comes up as an option in php is to use the phpinfo() function. Just put it as the only thing in a PHP file and you'll get a long list of everything you ever wanted to know about PHP.

<?php
    phpinfo();
?>

At the top of the file, you'll see a "Configure Command" wich shows the configuration options that were used when PHP was compiled. On my server, ZLib is the last thing in the list. Then, if you scroll down to about the middle of the page, you'll see a ZLIb section and some additional info about ZLib, such as the version of the library that is installed.
