Answer 1

You could write a custom script that opens all the files, removes the opening and closing tags, and concatenates them together and saves as one file. should be pretty easy to do.

Or you can use a php compiler. It will do a bit more than what you are looking for, but if you just want one file, you run your dev project through one of these.

You might also be able to use the built in php bytecode compiler to compile everything to byte-code and stick it in one file.
