How can PHP handle sending compressed data to the client and is it possible to access the compressed output?

To send compressed data to the client in PHP, you can make use of the zlib extension which provides functions for handling compressed data. You can compress the output using ob_gzhandler() function and then access the compressed output by setting the appropriate headers. This allows for faster data transfer and reduced bandwidth consumption. 

<?php
ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
echo "This is a compressed output";
header('Content-Encoding: gzip');
ob_end_flush();
?>
