I'm grabbing some JSON data using file_get_contents
and I need to compress it. So I can add it as a data attribute on an HTML element in my page.
Basically I just need to strip out line breaks, extra spaces or tabs. Everybody seems to suggest using ob_gzhandler
. But I can't do that - I don't have control over the modules that are enabled on our production environment.
Can anybody suggest a PHP snippet that'll do what I want without ob_gzhandler
?
If you want the data written as JSON you could do a simple:
echo json_encode(json_decode($data));
This will strip all whitespaces
