Combine & compress CSS files with PHP
Here is another technique for combining multiple CSS stylesheets into a single, compressed file.
In your CSS directory, create a blank PHP file named “css.php” and add the following code:
<?php // compress and merge CSS files
header('Content-type: text/css');
ob_start("compress");
function compress($buffer) {
$buffer = preg_replace('!/\*[^*]*\*+([^/][^*]*\*+)*/!', '', $buffer);
$buffer = str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r", "\n", "\t", ' ', ' ', ' '), '', $buffer);
return $buffer;
}
include('reset.css');
include('base.css');
include('grid.css');
include('print.css');
ob_end_flush();
?>Then upload to your server and link to it in the <head> of your web pages:
<link rel='stylesheet' href='http://example.com/css/css.php' type='text/css' media='all'>
Done :)
