[wp-hackers] concatinating PHP code files

[Chris Jean]

I don't know of anything that does this. I'm really curious to know why 
you would want to.

If you only needed to do it once, just manually merge them (though I 
still don't know why you'd want to). If it needed to handle random code 
in an automated fashion, what application would require this?

If you really needed this, it sounds like you would want to build a 
custom script that uses regex (http://www.regular-expressions.info/) to 
parse the files in order to find the include, include_once, require, 
require_once instances and replace them with the content of the files. 
Of course, if include_once or require_once is used, log the file so it 
is only included once.
