Hi,

I am trying to get PHP5 installed with Tidy support. PHP5 comes with the tidy extension build in, you just have to add it when doing ./configure. I did:

./configure --with-tidy

I got PHP5 installed, and phpinfo() returns a page saying the tidy extension is installed and running. Before I compiled and installed PHP5, I installed libtidy into /usr/lib.

This did not work. When I try some tidy examples in PHP, no data is returned. So then I tried removing libtidy and putting it into the default location when configuring (/usr/local/lib/) Still does the same thing.

If anyone could give me step by step directions or any help at all, I would very much appreciate it!

Thanks!

Oh, here is the PHP code that is not working:

<?

$html = "<html><head><title>test</title></head><body><p>error</i></body></html>";

$cleanHTML = tidy_repair_string($html);

echo $cleanHTML;

?>

Also... I'm thinking the tidy extension, or PHP, or Apache, or whatever may not be able to access the libtidy library for some reason. They are those dylib libraries or whatever...

Ok, I found I had gotten libtidy installed correctly and linked up with PHP5. The problem is tidy_repair_string() is not working, with tidy_parse_string() is.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

If you're using PHP5 you may want to interpret the string in the OO-way:-

(from http://www.php.net/manual/en/functio...ean-repair.php)

Code:
<?php
$html = '<html><head><title>test</title></head><body><p>error</i></body></html>';

$tidy = tidy_parse_string($html);
tidy_clean_repair($tidy);

echo $tidy;
?>
