Thats should do the job.

Actually, this is wrong.. Buro stated to add the code ABOVE this:

	$pageendtime = microtime();

Otherwise, the page loading time will be inaccurate.

This hack is sooo sweet. It changed my forumhome output from 46.100 bytes to 38.770 bytes which means from 100% to 84% which is a gain of 16% in decreased size. Thanks you!

So after all the discussion in this thread, does this hack screw up when you edit a post?

What about when you are applying a hack and it has you look for certain code? If you do a search for the code from what somebody gives you to search for, if your spaces aren't right, won't the search turn up zero results because you've removed the spacing?

[msimplay]

is there a way so formatting where [html] tag doesn't get messed up ?
maybe an if condition ?

If you run a journal system, you may also want to add journal in to the $thisscriptis array..

[Amavisca]

when i try to put 'journal' in, it game an error

[Oblivion Knight]

Make sure that the line above has a commar after it..

It should look something like this:

	$thisscriptis = array(
		'editpost',
		'register',
		'newreply',
		'newthread',
		'sendmessage',
		'private',
		'journal'
	);

Thnx for the quick reply ok, yep i forget the comma. I have another question if u can answer: what does this info tell u :
Page generated in 0.53191209 seconds (65.18% PHP - 34.82% MySQL) with 13 queries
DEBUG Mode OFF | GZIP ON (level 1) | 0.41 : 0.40 : 0.37 | No uncached Templates

and btw I just move to a dedicate server but the serverload and memory is very high sometimes, how can i keep it low>?

[msimplay]

isn't there a way to just exclude the html tag from the white space stripper ?

What page are those stats from, and what hacks do you have installed? The page generation time and server loads are both higher than what I'd deem as normal.

If you use the "lite" version; the php, code and html tags shouldn't be affected.

[Deimos]

Works ok for me, I installed it.
Definite speed improvement.

It is from my forumhome ( which has quite a few icon image and lots forums ) and I did install the Micro Stat hax.

hmm have u tested this coz for me it did change the way it rendered the page

code and php tags are unaffected but html tag goes haywire

^^ sorry

apparently this works with it great

PHP Code:

    $thisscriptis = array(
        'editpost',
        'register',
        'newreply',
        'newthread',
        'sendmessage'
    );

    if (!in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, $thisscriptis))
    {
        $patterns = array('/\>\s+\</', '/^\s*/m');
        $replace = array('> <', '');
        $vartext = preg_replace($patterns, $replace, $vartext);
    }
    else
    {
        $vartext = preg_replace('/\>\s+\</', '> <', $vartext);
    }

@buro9 feel free to do with it what ever you wish

this hack is great most people want to install games and pets (and i do aswell lol) but when they use vb some more and their sites get busier they will be running to these mods.


@amavisca http://turck-mmcache.sourceforge.net/index_old.html <---- the best software for php (and to all other people you wont be able to use this unless you have ssh access or you have a nice host that will install it for ya)

First post adjusted to use the array version (simpler than explaining what is going on with a 'lite' or 'extreme' version).

Also added credit to those in this thread who have helped others resolve problems and questions from others.

Also modified the instruction to say AFTER a chunk of code, rather than BEFORE. As the old version depended on not having microstats installed... the new version should be clearer for all of those who want to install it... microstats or not.
