ob_start("ob_gzhandler") and error handling functions

[IG <php@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I include a php file at the beginning of every web page in this site. 
This include file has an error handling function and starts output 
buffering...

// Start of Error Handler
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
ini_set('log_errors','1');

function ErrHandler($err,$err_string='',$err_file,$err_line)
   {
       // Do error logging thang

       ob_end_clean();// Clear buffer
  
       include('/path/incs/errors/errors.inc');// Output friendly error 
page
       exit();
   }   

set_error_handler('ErrHandler');

// End of Error Handler

It works great and the error handler kicks in if there is an error on 
the page and outputs a friendly page instead. I really wanted to gzip 
the pages by using ob_start("ob_gzhandler") but it doesn't work. I think 
it is because of the error handler function trying to clear the buffer 
(see the line ob_end_clean() which I assume becomes 
ob_end_clean("ob_gzhandler") ). It says on the php functions page- 
*ob_start()* may not be called from a callback function. If you call 
them from callback function, the behavior is undefined. If you would 
like to delete the contents of a buffer, return "" (a null string) from 
callback function.

As I am new to this- I don't really understand what it is trying to get 
at. Is there a way of me using my error handler and evoking the 
ob_start("ob_gzhandler") ?

Thanks.
