Check Gzip enabled or not of a website using PHP

I am creating an SEO analyzer. One part of it is to find whether a website has gzip enabled or not.

I found that gzip can be done either by .htaccess or in apache or Nginx. So how can i find whether entered website has gzip enabled or not?

Also when i open a website like this : www.example.com/.htaccess it is giving me a error saying "permission denied".

First of all: .htaccess should be only be accessible through the file system, for example through ftp.

As for the gzip detection, check the response header for: Content-Encoding gzip

ok thank you guys. I have written the code to check gzip of a website. Here it is...

<?php
$headers = get_headers("http://www.example.com", 1);
echo $headers['Content-Encoding'];
?>

Try analyzing headers with getallheaders. Look for something like: Content-Encoding More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_compression

And here is example code:

foreach (getallheaders() as $name => $value) {
    if ($name == 'Content-Encoding') {
        echo 'Encoding is: ' . $value;
        break;
    }
}

htaccess is a hidden system file so you cannot access it, usually you would use phpinfo(); to look at your php settings.
