If your goal is to make your JavaScript slightly less readable, and do this at runtime, you could keep it very, very, simple. With just three lines of code you can get a long way toward total minification within a few milliseconds.
// make it into one long line
$code = str_replace(array("\n","\r"),'',$code);
// replace all multiple spaces by one space
$code = preg_replace('!\s+!',' ',$code);
// replace some unneeded spaces, modify as needed
$code = str_replace(array(' {',' }','{ ','; '),array('{','}','{',';'),$code);
This does not do any syntax checking whatsoever. Code can become invalid after using this. Check the end of the lines in your JS, is a ';' missing somewhere?
