note 71073 added to function.ob-start

I'm sure some of you more brilliant minds could pare this down some more, but using the method found at fiftyfoureleven.com for compressing, I got my 10090-byte stylesheet down to 3536 bytes and then again down to 2713 bytes, by stripping unecessary characters from the stylesheet. 2 ob_start calls and the CSS file is now 73% smaller. YMMV. <?php ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); ob_start("compress"); header("Content-type: text/css; charset: UTF-8"); header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate"); $off = 0; # Set to a reaonable value later, say 3600 (1 hr); $exp = "Expires: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s", time() + $off) . " GMT"; header($exp); function compress($buffer) { $buffer = preg_replace('!/\*[^*]*\*+([^/][^*]*\*+)*/!', '', $buffer); // remove comments $buffer = str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r", "\n", "\t", ' ', ' ', ' '), '', $buffer); // remove tabs, spaces, newlines, etc. $buffer = str_replace('{ ', '{', $buffer); // remove unnecessary spaces. $buffer = str_replace(' }', '}', $buffer); $buffer = str_replace('; ', ';', $buffer); $buffer = str_replace(', ', ',', $buffer); $buffer = str_replace(' {', '{', $buffer); $buffer = str_replace('} ', '}', $buffer); $buffer = str_replace(': ', ':', $buffer); $buffer = str_replace(' ,', ',', $buffer); $buffer = str_replace(' ;', ';', $buffer); return $buffer; } require_once('screen.css'); require_once('layout.css'); require_once('custom.php'); require_once('titles.css'); require_once('bus.css'); ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 71.233.85.144 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-start.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/71073 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71073/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71073/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71073/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71073/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71073/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71073/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71073 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/71073 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
