RE: [PHP] stripping white space?

Bart, a project we are working on will have: 1. HTTP compression, which is not 100% compatible, but catches most of the browsers anyway. 2. Our own caching system: in two words: ob_*() to save the output as a text file, mod_rewrite to check for file and throw the plain .txt files if exist, PostgreSQL triggers to update (delete cached) .txt files. 3. Browser/Platform detection: there's no need to make cross-platform heavy but compatible pages, just specific style sheets and html tags for specific browser families. 4. clever HTML design, so there are less tags, tables etc, to have files smaller. And *that* also includes less comments and double quotes on integers. We do nothing with XML, so that is why I am so shocked why people here discourage me that much. -maxim maletsky -----Original Message----- From: Bart Veldhuizen [mailto:bart@blender.nl] Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2001 3:31 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] stripping white space? Hi Brian, > * Persuade someone at Zend to modify PHP so that a filter function can > be specified which all output text is passed through - would have the > same restrictions as the "header" function You can already achieve this by using the built-in output buffering function. Read http://www.zend.com/manual/function.ob-start.php for more information and a simple example on this. Why not go for HTTP compression though? The gain would be much larger than just stripping out the whitespace/comments and such..
