Menu
i have the following HTML code ( i can't change it , its from external source )
<a href="http://linkhref.com"><center>Link Text</center></a>
but after processing with tidy , the HTML is broken ( anchor is not clickable , because the innerHTML is appended after the tag :( I am using following configuration options :
$config = array(
'output-xml'=>true,
'wrap'=>false,
'doctype'=>'omit',
'quote-nbsp'=>false,
'quiet'=>true,
'bare'=>true,
'fix-backslash'=>false,
'indent-cdata'=>false
);
the tidy will output :
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://linkhref.com"></a>
<center>Link Text</center>
<br />
</body>
</html>
Any suggestions ? Thanks a lot.

Ideally you don't want the "center" tag to remain anyway - it's a deprecated tag in HTML4, and is no longer supported in HTML5.
Try adding the configuration option:
'clean' => true
I had similar issue with A tags, that are now in HTML 5 allowed as block element.
I solved it like this:
static function tidy_links_cb($m)
{
$blocks = 'div|ul|li|dl|form|fieldset|mena|nav|table|tr|td|th|address|article|aside|blockquote|dir|div|dl|fieldset|footer|form|h1|h2|h3|h4|h5|h6|header|hr|menu|nav|ol|p|pre|section|table|ul';
if (preg_match('~<('.$blocks.')~is', $m[1])) {
// THIS LINK CONTAINS BLOCK ELEMENT
return '<alink'.$m[1].'</alink>';
}
return $m[0];
}
static function Tidy($html)
{
$config = array(
'wrap' => 0,
'show-body-only' => true,
'enclose-text' => true,
'output-xhtml' => true,
'doctype' => 'omit',
'bare' => true,
'char-encoding' => 'raw',
'input-encoding' => 'raw',
'output-encoding' => 'raw',
'quiet' => true,
'hide-comments' => true,
'new-blocklevel-tags' => 'section alink',
'new-inline-tags' => 'button',
'drop-empty-elements' => false,
);
// you cannot simply replace all <A> tags because Tidy would mess up the inline ones
$html = preg_replace_callback('~<a(.*)</a>~isU', array(self, 'tidy_links_cb'), $html);
$html = tidy_parse_string($html, $config);
tidy_clean_repair($html);
$html = str_replace('<alink ', '<a ', $html);
$html = str_replace('alink>', 'a>', $html);
$html = (string) $html;
return $html;
}
