Initial Description 
Usually when you're using different CSS files on your site, they might take a quite long to be loaded. Using this PHP code, you can compress them into a single file with no unnecessary white spaces or comments. Why we need to compress multiple CSS files? The answer is: the compressing procedure may take a less time than a total time of loading each file separately.
