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. --kurt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mukul Sabharwal" <mukulsabharwal@yahoo.com> To: "Kurt Lieber" <php@internalcombustion.com>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, July 09, 2001 10:04 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] stripping white space? > Hi, > > I take that you simply want to remove ALL whitespaces > from a data block (variable). > > you could simply use str_replace(" ", "", $var); > > > > --- Kurt Lieber <php@internalcombustion.com> wrote: > > Is there a way using PHP to easily strip white space > > out of an html page as > > it's being sent to the client.
