Combining and Compressing multiple JavaScript files in php

Question

I am working on a PHP app that requires eight javascript files (hello web2.0).

I am wondering what the best way combine and compress all of the files dynamically. A

Answer 1

You can use jsmin-php

Their sample code is:

require 'jsmin-1.1.1.php';

// Output a minified version of example.js.
echo JSMin::minify(file_get_contents('example.js'));

You may easily join several js files by doing something like:

require 'jsmin-1.1.1.php';

// Output a minified version of example.js.
echo JSMin::minify(file_get_contents('example.js') . file_get_contents('example2.js'));
