As some of you may know, I am currently working on a content management system. Although I am not able to share all of the code - it is proprietary after all - I already made one debugging tool public. This tool can be used to test some common techniques which decreases the bandwidth generated by feed consumers. Today I am going to make a second tool public - including source code. It is a method to decrease the loading time of a page by combining all the different css or javascript files and compress them.
Take for example the following URLs:
http://www.creatype.nl/javascript/prototype.js
http://www.creatype.nl/javascript/builder.js
http://www.creatype.nl/javascript/effects.js
http://www.creatype.nl/javascript/dragdrop.js
http://www.creatype.nl/javascript/slider.js

You can combine all these files to a single file by simply changing the URL to:
http://www.creatype.nl/javascript/prototype.js,builder.js,effects.js,dragdrop.js,slider.js
onfigurating this script is easy. First you need to download and configure the combine.php script. By default this script look in the javascript and css directory in the root of your website, but if you are currently using different directories you can change these values at the top of the combine.php script. Upload the combine.php script to the root of your website. Secondly you need to create a cache directory that is writable by the web server. Again, by default this script will look for the cache directory in the root of the website, but you can change this in the combine.php script. Finally you need to create or modify your .htaccess file. If you do not have a .htaccess file you can create it in the root of your website and add the following lines. If you already have an preexisting .htaccess file you can simply add the following lines to the file:
```
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^css/(.*\.css) /combine.php?type=css&files=$1 RewriteRule ^javascript/(.*\.js) /combine.php?type=javascript&files=$1
```
Note: if your preexisting .htaccess file already uses URL rewriting you do not need to add the first two lines. You can simply add the last two lines to the bottom of the .htaccess file.
