An alternative to php tidy?

Question

I use php tidy to process html input in my database,

$fragment = tidy_repair_string($dom->saveHTML(), array('output-xhtml'=>1,'show-body-only'=>1));

I have this php_tidy turned on in my server but my live server doesn't support tidy,

Fatal error: Call to undefined function tidy_repair_string() in /customers/0/5/a/mysite.com/httpd.www/models/functions.php on line 587

Any alternative can I have to fix this problem?

Answer 1

I found htmLawed to be very fast. I found it when looking for an alternative to HTMLPurifier, which was very slow.

Answer 2

Or simply pass through the DOMDocument object:

$dirty = "<xml>some content</xml>"
$x = new DOMDocument;
$x->loadHTML($dirty);
$clean = $x->saveXML();

Answer 3

HTML Purifier can rewrite HTML to be standards-compliant like HTML Tidy. If you need to filter that input for XSS prevention, etc., it will do that as well.

It's all PHP, so you should be able to use it on any server.
