This script doesn’t seem to work for me. I’ve literally followed instructions and placed the top code at the very top of the .php page and the bottom at the very bottom with no space and HTML in between. However on output all comments, line breaks and white space still remain. Is there something else I’m missing?

I was actually looking to figure out a way to do something similar to this. Ideally I just wanted a php script which would scan through the html doc and remove all HTML comments. I use a lot of comments whilst in development but don’t necessarily want these to go live and the manual way of stripping them out is a bit of a chore.

Any chance you could show how I can alter the script to do this?

Hey Ryan, yeah your right however its stripping out all the white space in your code when it renders the page therefore compressing your code down to one line. you don’t call the function. You simply wrap your HTML code in the PHP buffer.

Where do you call the function?
All it’s doing, is starting the buffer, echoing the content, then ending the buffer.

Cheers,
Ryan.

@jutta You need to add the code at the top of your page before any other code
