[PHP] Whitespace filter
Does anyone have an eloquent way to strip redundant whitespace without harming whitespace inside pre, textarea or script tags? I'd like to post-filter my HTML before returning it to the client and I'm not all that great with regular expressions. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If it's just white space on the ends of the text you can use trim(). As
for a regular expression...
/\s{2,}|\t/ /
Will replace 2 or more whitespace characters (tab, space) with just one
space as well as replacing one tab character \t with one space. That
works in Perl (me thinks), but you'll have to fenagle it to work with
ereg_replace() in PHP.
Note, thiw will also rip through pre, textarea, and any other tag.
It will apply to the entire string you supply it with. Unless you have
gobs of white space in your HTML there's really no point in getting rid
of it since all browsers will only display one space even if they
encounter multiple spaces. For example:
HTML:
This ismy HTML.
Will display as...
This is my HTML.
...in any browser.
Chris.
p.s. My regex is fairly weak so there could very well be a better one
for this.

[PHP] whitespace...
How do I remove the whitespace from a document? I consulted the manual and it said to use the trim function. But in a large PHP document, with lots of fuctions etc in PHP... is there a simple way to compress the whitespace of the entire document? Rather than going through each var and using the trim? Like add a header at the top: ?PHP compresswhitespace() ? If you have a 300k php document, won't the source code reveal (after the browser displays the page) a bunch of whitespace. Doesn't this add to dl time and if so, how do I get rid of it.

Not 100% sure if I understand the drift of your question, but here's a few
possibilities.
(1) Are you concerned about whitespace you put in a PHP program to enhance
readability slowing down page loads?
Any whitespace WITHIN PHP tags does not get sent to the browser at all. So
you don't need to worry about it.
(2) Are you concerned that the OUTPUT of your PHP program and/or HTML
embedded therein might have excessive whitespace? If so, you could create
an output handler that cleans up the output before sending, I think; see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php
Or, use compression. See:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-gzhandler.php
(3) If you simply wanted to clean up excessive whitespace in a file, you
could use a snippet like:
...read file into $file variable
# Replace multiple spaces/tabs with a space
$file = preg_replace('/[ \t]{2,}/','/ /', $file);
# Replace multiple lines with single line
$file = preg_replace('/(\n|\r|\r\n){2,}/', '\r', $file);
...write $file back out
That last line for replacing multiple blank lines is probably wrong; at the
very least you'd have to do some platform checking (Win vs. Mac vs. Unix)
to get the proper line ending. You might also be able to use the pattern
'/(^$){2,}/m'
In PHP4 I think you can use arrays:
...read in
$file = preg_replace(
array('/[ \t]{2,}/', '/(\n|\r|\r\n){2,}/'),
array('/ /', '\r'),
$file
);
...write out
See
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php
