remove whitespace from html string

Hi. I've searched google and did'nt found what I am looking for. I don't know why because I think this is an easy solution.

I want to remove all white spaces between tags from an html string

I found a regex solution but it gives me a compilation error. can someone help me?

here is the code:

$input=preg_replace( "/(?:(?<=\>)|(?<=\/\))(\s+)(?=\<\/?)/","", $input );

Code (markup):

Thanks

 

Have you looked into the trim() function?

trim — Strip whitespace (or other characters) from the beginning and end of a string

i want to remove whitespaces and new lines between all the tags

 

Your pattern seems a little complicated.

preg_replace('#>\s+<#', '><', $str);
