php-yui-compressor

A modern PHP wrapper for the YUI compressor.

Installation

Run composer install (install Composer if you haven't done so already). You will also need to have Java installed and available in your path (on Debian/Ubuntu-based systems you can install it using sudo apt-get install default-jre)

Usage

The following snippet assumes you've included the Composer-generated autoloader.

<?php

$yui = new \YUI\Compressor();

// Read the uncompressed contents
$css = file_get_contents('styles.css');
$script = file_get_contents('script.js');

// Compress the CSS
$yui->setType(\YUI\Compressor::TYPE_CSS);
$optimizedCss = $yui->compress($css);

// Compress the JavaScript
$yui->setType(\YUI\Compressor::TYPE_JS);
$optimizedScript = $yui->compress($script);

<?php

// javaPath defauls to "java" which means it has to be in the path. If that's 
// not the case we can override it like this.
$yui = new \YUI\Compressor(array(
	'javaPath'=>'/usr/bin/java',
	'line-break'=>80,
	'disable-optimizations'=>true,
));

// Read the uncompressed contents
$css = file_get_contents('styles.css');
$script = file_get_contents('script.js');

// The "disable-optimizations" option is JavaScript-specific so it won't apply 
// here...
$yui->setType(\YUI\Compressor::TYPE_CSS);
$optimizedCss = $yui->compress($css);

// ...but here it will
$yui->setType(\YUI\Compressor::TYPE_JS);
$optimizedScript = $yui->compress($script);
