I don't think you can prevent chunking in HTTP 1.1.  You would have to 
send as HTTP 1.0, which would require a configuration change in the web 
server.

And I would suggest you change your hosting immediately.  PHP 4.x has 
been out of service for years, and if your hosting company is still 
running it, I would be afraid of what other old software they're running.
