There is no need to use mod_gzip on a PHP website <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> . PHP 4.0.5 and higher has already native gzip output support that are compatible with older browsers.
Open your php.ini and replace:
output_handler =
with
output_handler = ob_gzhandler
