Compress css within PHP using PHP

COMPRESS CSS

Create a style.php file, not style.css.
paste this code.

<?php ob_start ("ob_gzhandler"); header("Content-type: text/css; charset: UTF-8"); header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate"); $offset = 60 * 60 ; $ExpStr = "Expires: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s", time() + $offset) . " GMT"; header($ExpStr); ?> body { color: red; }
css goes here as always...

Then call this stylesheet with php file name, see below...thats it.

<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='css/style.php' />

string ob_gzhandler ( string $buffer , int $mode )

ob_gzhandler() is intended to be used as a callback function for ob_start() to help facilitate sending gz-encoded data to web browsers that support compressed web pages. Before ob_gzhandler() actually sends compressed data, it determines what type of content encoding the browser will accept ("gzip", "deflate" or none at all) and will return its output accordingly. All browsers are supported since it's up to the browser to send the correct header saying that it accepts compressed web pages. If a browser doesn't support compressed pages this function returns FALSE.
