Hi wkarim, and thanks for sharing these pieces of code. They are interesting.

Though I wonder about your html_compress function. Is it necessary to use so much regex ? I have a function that does the nearly the same :

function compress($string){
$string = str_replace("\n", “", $string);
$string = str_replace("\t", “", $string);
$string = wordwrap($string, 990, “\n");

return $string;
}

The thing that is cleary missing, is a way to preserve the code and pre tags. So my function is not complete, but yours seems overkill to me.

There has to be a correct middle.

@Shawn
there are a lot of ways to speed up static contents of your website, check your server’s configuration optimization tutorials for more info. Most common way is to put them on a separate server with a different sub domain like static.gadelkareem.com and use something like lighttpd to serve static contents.
