Is there a programme to make my code from multiple lines into one continuous straight line with no white space and paragraph ?

[requinix]

Why would you want to do that? Whitespace in PHP is completely harmless, while removing that makes code a billion times harder to manage.

As requinix said: Why would you want to do that?
It'll only create problems for you, and possibly your users as well. It'd be a maintainability nightmare, and I cannot see any benefits from it.

Obfuscation?

[Christian F.]

I view that as "no benefit", Barand.
Not to mention that just stripping the whitespace is a really crappy form for obfuscation. Any decent editor can easily re-insert them.

Yes obfuscation. I just don't want some of the pages that link to jquery and ajax be easily extracted by viewing the source code. So any programme that does that ?

Trust me when I say it'd only take 2 seconds more to get around that, as that's the time it'll take me to right-click, select "inspect element" and wait for Dragonfly to load. This is a waste of effort, and I sincerely doubt that your code is that valuable.

This. I rarely do View Source anymore because I have Chrome: right-click, Inspect Element, and read the tree just fine. You can obfuscate your site with XSLT or J&#097;v&#097;script and it won't make any difference at all.
HTML obfuscation is a battle you cannot win.

[edit] On that note, it's trivial to watch AJAX requests and Flash video downloads. I can see everything your website is doing, every AJAX request it makes, every file it downloads, and I can replay that against you. Then I can deconstruct the requests and reassemble the pieces in any way I want, send those requests to your server, and you'll never know the difference.

Any recommendation on which is the best obfuscator software ?
