If you do this then those who will want to eventually convert their projects
over to XML or XHTML format will have a hard time doing so, because the
double quotes around the values of the attributes are required. Also, it's
not good code practice. Just something for future reference...

Subject: RE: [PHP] stripping white space?


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);
