Question

I was wondering if there was a way to slightly modify the require or include functionality so that it removes line breaks and white space. So it minifies all the html / js inside the documents that im trying to grab.

I tried this:

trim(require('my document.php'));

didn’t work though, is there a correct way to do this?

Cheers,
Doug

You probably want to do something like

ob_start();
require('my document.php');
echo minify(ob_get_flush());

Which will get all the output generated by my document.php and minify it, you have to find a minifying library to do it though.
