Strange Characters on screen

[naveenshurpalekar]

Hello Community people,
am encountering a strange problem. When i type my URL https://mydomain.com/index.php, i get a lot of strange signs in my Firefox and Chrome browser. but if i do the same in IE8, i get a popup message which says "IE cannot download index.php from localhost". And if i click OK to this mesaage, i see the same strange characters on the screen.
i commented my code in index.php and tried phpinfo() instead. phpinfo() is getting displayed.

also did this
At /include/utils.php at function setPhpIniSettings() change d

Code:
// zlib module
if(function_exists('gzclose') && headers_sent() == false) {
ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 1);
}
to

PHP Code:
// zlib module
if(function_exists('gzclose') && headers_sent() == false) {
ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'true');
}

still i get d same result.

Tried looking for this on other forms, where i got some information that this might be happening because of Cache.

Could somebody guide me on this. its been 3 days that i have been struggling with this.
any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Note : Am using Sugar Pro 5.2.0d

This looks like a php incompatibility. Please look at the compatibility matrix in the release notes and either upgrade Sugar or php (if I remember correctly php 5.2.9 was the culprit)

change the code to

 // zlib module 
if(function_exists('gzclose') && headers_sent() == false) { 
//  -> do not call that:  ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'true'); 
}
