I guess this is just one of those things where everyone's opinions runs in
different directions, yet everyone is entitled to their own. I myself try to
respect the standard because of the browser war years which made everyone
uncomfortable. Now most browsers are trying to merge into a single standard
(thank god). I believe the future to be XML, and I also don't think HTML
will ever go away. However, I do believe that HTML will be treated more
strict (hence the emergence of XHTML which is based on HTML 4.0 and XML). My
suggestion to everyone is to continue using standards and try not to go
astray from them, else we know the headaches us developers can face in the
future.
Sincerely,
Navid Yar

Yeah, I know that XML requires it. And I also know that it is not a good
code practice, but it perfectly works for HTML pages. Browsers compatible
with the style sheets have no problems with this code (there's no
connection), and if there's any XML to work on the HTML will be rewritten
anyway, so there's really no reason to worry about it. Just the size gets
lower and typing (escaping in PHP) is easier. I think it IS a good practice
if you only practicing HTML to be outputted by PHP.

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...

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);
