Question

My PHP code:

include "something.php"
$mysite = writeContent();

//footer.php
ob_start();
echo "<script...all my javascript here...</script>";
$object = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

$search = array("\n","\r");
$replace = array("","");
$object = str_replace($search, $replace, $object);
echo $object;

then my JavaScript is malformed and doesn’t work.

I know I can use gzip to increase the speed (thats not what I’m asking) but what I really want is to remove the extra space from the code.

Any chance you’re having an issue with semicolons? You probably want to validate your JavaScript first to see what’s wrong, but here’s one of many possibilities:

var foo = 0 // This works fine
var bar = 1
// #=>
var foo = 0var bar = 1 // This doesn't

// And FWIW, this is what you want:
var foo = 0;
var bar = 1;
