I am far from a PHP expert, and I've been struggling to create a function which will take a javascript .js file and "compact" it as much as possible. Meaning, remove all comments and unnecessary whitespace. "Obfuscation" is not necessary. Obviously, the compacted javascript should run identically to the original javascript. Can anyone point...
