HTML in attach

This happens because php tags are interpreted as html tags. I am not using any deep analysis for HTML (for speed sake), just regular expressions, so when it sees <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $this->arrayFiles['jquery.js']['url'] ?>"></script> it takes '<' and '>' php symbols as html tag boundaries.

It was not intended to parse anything other than plain html. Sorry, I don't think I will be able to do anything with this problem.

Btw a better way of doing html compression for php would be putting your html into Smarty templates and then using {strip} tags. That's how I deal with php compression and that's what inspired this project.

Actually, this issue is caused by any invalid javascript in a tag. The YUI Compressor tries to write to its error reporter, but due to line 312 of HtmlCompressor.java:

JavaScriptCompressor compressor = new JavaScriptCompressor(new StringReader(source), null);

The error reporter is explicitly "null" so NullPointerException is thrown. I have attached a patch that allows the user to set the yuiErrorReporter

@erin.dru Thanks. Was added in 0.9.2 version.

Also custom preservation rules were added, php blocks can be preserved now.
