I would not be stripping white spaces, but double white spaces into single '
';
for example:
$html = ereg_replace("[[:space:]]+", ' ', $page);
I never tested this, but what I am trying to do is to get all and any blank
characters and replace them with one single space. Why? Because I don't want
all the words in text to merge together.
This should reduce the size.
Also here's a tip: remove any double or single quotes in tags surrounding
integers. This is compatible enough, but is a bunch of bytes.
i.e.:
change every
<IMG SRC="/img/arrow.gif" WIDTH="12" HEIGHT="11"
BORDER="0" ALT="arrow"
align="left">
to
<IMG SRC="/img/arrow.gif" WIDTH=12 HEIGHT=11 BORDER=0 ALT="arrow"
align="left">
this example is reduced by 6 bytes.

Hi,
I take that you simply want to remove ALL whitespaces
from a data block (variable).
you could simply use str_replace(" ", "", $var);
