nope -- I want to completely suppress any extraneous white space characters
(tabs, spaces, etc.) in the HTML as it's being delivered to the client. So,
where your source file might look like:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
Hello World!
</td>
<tr>
</table>
The client will receive the HTML as:
<table><tr><td>Hello World!</td></tr></table>
all on one big long line. But your source file maintains the original
formatting for easy readability.
I'm guessing the answer is no, PHP can't (easily) do this but I just thought
I'd check.
