Personally, I don't really care to have compression turned off automatically for images. I'd like to be able to make that choice myself. For the browsers that work correctly, an uncompressed generated image will still be able to take advantage of zlib compression.
I *DO* like the ability to be able to ini_set (or turn off some other way) the zlib.output_compression switch. That way, if I want to turn off compression for some reason, I can just use the switch. FYI, Netscape doesn't just have problems with images. Netscape also doesn't properly render compressed ILAYERs. On my site, I have to disable HTML (For Netscape) that is rendered in an ILAYER. While the bugs in Netscape aren't necessarily PHP's problem, it really would be nice to be able to turn off compression in cases where we have to, *because* of the browser bugs. The choice of using .htaccess complicates something that should be easily tunable from within the script.

Yes, but we need some kind of detection in order to disable it for PHP internally generated images like the PHP/Zend logos used by phpinfo(). Or we have to switch compression off there.
