Re: whitespace...

the php parser does not return any whitespace between the <?php ?> tags unless youn use print or echo. i wouldn't use:

You should use $content = str_replace(" ","",$content); I assume that works, there is probably something better than it too but thats all I see at this hour.

as that would remove all your normal single spaces as well. if this is really a an issue use regular expressions to replace 2 or more spaces with single spaces. see preg_replace() josh Matt Zur wrote:

If you have a file includes IE: include ("data.inc"); and have arrays n such with multiple php tags in that file, it will produce alot of white space on the final output. -Matt Philip Hallstrom wrote:

I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but given the following PHP file: <?php print("hello"); #assume there are hundreds of blank lines just above this one. ?> all the browse will see is this (minus the dashed lines). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hello ---------------------------------------------------------------------- On Wed, 4 Sep 2002, Matt Zur wrote:

How do I remove the whitespace from a document? I consulted the manual and it said to use the trim function. But in a large PHP document, with lots of fuctions etc in PHP... is there a simple way to compress the whitespace of the entire document? Rather than going through each var and using the trim? Like add a header at the top: <?PHP compresswhitespace() ?> If you have a 300k php document, won't the source code reveal (after the browser displays the page) a bunch of whitespace. Doesn't this add to dl time and if so, how do I get rid of it.
