Description:
------------
I enabled automatic gzip compression with the following 
line in php.ini:

   zlib.output_compression = on

The problem is that the Content-Encoding header does not 
get set at all in the response. Therefore, a browser 
that advertises itself as supporting gzip compression 
(Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate) receives compressed 
content but does not know it is compressed.

If I manually add the following to my script:

   header("Content-Encoding: gzip");

... it then works.


This was tried in the Safari and Firefox clients on Mac 
OS X. Server is RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 running kernel 
2.4.21-20. PHP 5.0.2 running as a module of 
Apache2 2.0.46.

If you need other details do not hesitate to contact me. 
Thank you.

P.S. Even though I compiled PHP with:

  ./configure --with-apxs2 --with-mysql --with-zlib

if I call phpinfo, here what it shows:

   ./configure --with-apxs2 --with-mysql

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

	print 'Here is some output !!!';

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Here is some output !!!

Actual result:
--------------
??H-JU?,V(??MU?/-)(-QPTT???D?M
