Installation

Tidy is currently available for PHP 4.3.x and PHP 5 as a PECL extension from » http://pecl.php.net/package/tidy.

Note: Tidy 1.0 is just for PHP 4.3.x, while Tidy 2.0 is just for PHP 5.

If » PEAR is available on your *nix-like system you can use the pear installer to install the tidy extension, by the following command: pecl install tidy.

You can always download the tar.gz package and install tidy by hand:

gunzip tidy-xxx.tgz
tar -xvf tidy-xxx.tar
cd tidy-xxx
phpize
./configure && make && make install

Windows users can download the extension dll from » http://pecl4win.php.net/ext.php/php_tidy.dll.

In PHP 5 you need only to compile using the --with-tidy option.
