function combine_my_files($array_files, $destination_dir, $dest_file_name){
if(!is_file($destination_dir . $dest_file_name)){ //continue only if file doesn't exist
$content = "";
foreach ($array_files as $file){ //loop through array list
$content .= file_get_contents($file); //read each file
}
//You can use some sort of minifier here
//minify_my_js($content);
$new_file = fopen($destination_dir . $dest_file_name, "w" ); //open file for writing
fwrite($new_file , $content); //write to destination
fclose($new_file);
return '<script src="'. $destination_dir . $dest_file_name.'"></script>'; //output combined file
}else{
//use stored file
return '<script src="'. $destination_dir . $dest_file_name.'"></script>'; //output combine file
}
}Usage
