This is my improved base version at 15571557 1535 bytes, saved simply under the filename "o":

Improvements:
1st stage
- Numeric array indices removed and reordered the array, string indices as implicit constants
2nd stage
- Replaced
intval
with ~~
(saves 8 bytes, two occurences)
- for-loop initialization removed where unnecessary
file_get_contents($u)
replaced with join('',file($u))
(saves 5 bytes)
- and a few others
Unfortunately, all the second stage improvements only translate into 1 byte less gzipped code. :-D
