Automatically Clean tags within the html tags
November 26, 2007 08:07AM

Hi,

I installed HTML Purifier on my server, it's working fine, great software.

$dirty_html = &#039;<b>Some Text in Here</s>&#039;;

<?php
require_once &#039;htmlpurifier-2.1.3/library/HTMLPurifier.auto.php&#039;;
$purifier = new HTMLPurifier();
$clean_html = $purifier->purify($dirty_html);
echo $clean_html . "\n<br />";
?>

Is there any way to have HTML Purifier automatically clean the html between the html tags? 

<html>all tags to be processed</html>

Thanks

Hi, I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Are you embedding HTML in BBCode, or something like that? HTML Purifier will automatically remove HTML tags.

Hi,

I have a simple website that is using php include files to insert repeating regions like the header and footer. The person who is updating the content for the website edits the content with Dreamweaver MX and uploads the files. He doesnt know very much about html and always stays in design view. His code nearly always contains a lot of errors and deprecated tags.

Is there any way that I can set HTML Purifier to automatically scan the content between the tags and purfiy the code before it is rendered in the browser?

Thanks :)

It's not recommended, because HTML Purifier specifically strips out things like JavaScript and Forms that, while not allowed for user-input, are absolutely necessary for the website itself.

I encourage you to look into HTML Tidy, as well as talking to the developer to get him to learn about semantic markup. :-)
