Compress your CSS with PHP

It is possible to compress your CSS style sheet with PHP. Here is how you can do that.

Create a CSS file with .php extension. For example; stylesheet.php

&lt;?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);
?&gt;

<?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);

?>

Now in the same file, start writing your CSS styles and classes. For example,

#wrapper {
width: 980px;
background-color: #FFF;
}

.MyHeadings {
	font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
	font-size: 18px;
	color: #666;
	text-decoration: underline;
}

#wrapper {

width: 980px;

background-color: #FFF;

}

.MyHeadings {

font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;

font-size: 18px;

color: #666;

text-decoration: underline;

}

You can then call your css in your web pages by simply using the LINK tag.

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

Hope it will be useful for someone.
