Hello, I am trying to clean up my "view source" code. Currently, due to the way i format my php/html code, the end viewable source looks really spread out with lots of white space between lines. Is there a way via CSS or using /n that will clean my code up a little. I have looked into Code Beautifing programs and am NOT intrested in them. Thanks. Example Code <table width="100%" border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=5 style="text-align:left;padding:px;font-size:12px;"> </tr> <?php $x=0; /* get field names in Ranges tab */ $_conn2 = db_query(" Select sale_type_field.sale_type_field_name, sale_type_field.sale_type_field_value, sale_type_field.calc, sale_type_field.calc1, sale_type_field.calc2 From sale_type_field LEFT OUTER JOIN connector_sale_type_field ON sale_type_field.sale_type_field_id = connector_sale_type_field.sale_type_field_id Where connector_sale_type_field.sale_type_tab_id = 137 AND connector_sale_type_field.sale_type_id = 34 Order By connector_sale_type_field.stf_display_order Asc "); while($conn2 = db_fetch_array($_conn2)){ /* set underscored version of sale_type_field_name */ $sale_type_field_name = implode('_',explode(' ',strtolower($conn2['sale_type_field_name']))); /* get sale type field names */ if ($_vars['sale_id'] <> '') { $_stfv = db_query(" Select sale_type_subdivision.$sale_type_field_name, connector_sale.sale_id, connector_sale.ref_id From connector_sale LEFT OUTER JOIN sale_type_subdivision ON sale_type_subdivision.sale_type_subdivision_id = connector_sale.ref_id Where connector_sale.sale_id = '".$_vars['sale_id']."' limit 1 "); $stfv = db_fetch_array($_stfv); $sale_type_field_value = $stfv[$sale_type_field_name]; } /* if there is no saved value, set to default */ if ($stfv[$sale_type_field_name] == "") { $sale_type_field_value = $conn2['sale_type_field_value']; } /* set lot array */ $number = ""; $lot_sales = array('First Lot Sale ','Second Lot Sale ','Third Lot Sale ','Home Sale '); // /* set some vars for determining what lot sale it is */ if (in_array(substr($conn2['sale_type_field_name'],0,15),$lot_sales)){ $number = 15; }elseif (in_array(substr($conn2['sale_type_field_name'],0,16),$lot_sales)){ $number = 16; }elseif (in_array(substr($conn2['sale_type_field_name'],0,10),$lot_sales)){ $number = 10; } /* re-set sale_type_field_name so that proper fielt type is set */ $sale_type_field_name2 = $sale_type_field_name; $sale_type_field_name = strtolower(substr($sale_type_field_name,$number)); ?> <?php /* if the field a calculation.. */ ?> <?php if ($conn2['calc'] != "") { if ($conn2['calc1'] == "") { $conn2['calc1'] = $sale_type_field_name2; }else{ $_ft = db_query(" Select sale_type_field.sale_type_field_name From sale_type_field Where sale_type_field.sale_type_field_id = '".$conn2['calc1']."' limit 1 "); $ft = db_fetch_array($_ft); $conn2['calc1'] = implode('_',explode(' ',strtolower($ft['sale_type_field_name']))); } /* get low hi ave numbers */ $_avg = db_query(" Select Count(sale_type_lot_sale.$conn2[calc1]) AS count_$conn2[calc1], Sum(sale_type_lot_sale.$conn2[calc1]) AS sum_$conn2[calc1], Min(sale_type_lot_sale.$conn2[calc1]) AS min_$conn2[calc1], Max(sale_type_lot_sale.$conn2[calc1]) AS max_$conn2[calc1] From sale_type_lot_sale Where sale_type_lot_sale.sale_id = '".$_vars['sale_id']."'

i understand the line breaks are due to them in the HTML. i am just looking for a way to remove them after/while the code is being rendered.
the source code of a page is never ever perfect unless it's static html, if you view the source of this page, you will notice the format comes and goes as the page progresses, this is achieved by using templates instead of echoing raw html to the console, format the templates properly and you'll get a sort of formatted output.
If you were using a templating system it might be worth it but you currently are just directly outputting it - to clean it up you'll need to store it all in a variable first or use ob_ functions. That's a fair bit of overhead just to make your source code prettier and personally I would just manually tidy up your HTML in the script.
RIght krakjoe, that what I am thinking. Why use print and echo so much, It really mess up code. Leave no boundary between UI and Logic. Use template engine like Smarty and TemplatePower, if templates are formatted the html source will also be formatted. Other than this, it will become much much easy for you to update layout of your website.
