Combining Javascript and CSS files to lower loading times.

Content of /ci/public/.htaccess:

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /ci/public
RewriteRule ^css/(.*\.css) /ci/public/combine.php?type=css&files;=$1
RewriteRule ^js/(.*\.js) /ci/public/combine.php?type=javascript&files;=$1
</IfModule>

As I said, I have not completely tested this, but it seems to work.[/quote]

Could not figure out for the life of me why this didn't seem to work on my install, then I noticed the semi-colons in the RewriteRules. It looks like the forum's filter is adding them in after the fact.

They should both end with:
files=$1

I also had to change the file name delimiter in combine.php from a comma (",") to a legal URI character. I chose the tilde ("~") since I don't think it will occur in my normal URIs, but perhaps it would be better to simply add the comma to CodeIgniter's list of legal characters. Any thoughts?
