tidy::__construct — Constructs a new tidy object
$filename = null,$config = null,$encoding = null,$useIncludePath = falseConstructs a new tidy object.
filename If the filename parameter is given, this function will also read that file and initialize the object with the file, acting like tidy_parse_file().
config The config config can be passed either as an array or as a string. If a string is passed, it is interpreted as the name of the configuration file, otherwise, it is interpreted as the options themselves.
For an explanation about each option, visit » http://api.html-tidy.org/#quick-reference.
encoding The encoding parameter sets the encoding for input/output documents. The possible values for encoding are: ascii, latin0, latin1, raw, utf8, iso2022, mac, win1252, ibm858, utf16, utf16le, utf16be, big5, and shiftjis.
useIncludePathSearch for the file in the include_path.
Throws an exception when the constructor fails (e.g. failing to open a file).
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 8.4.0 | Failures when executing the constructor now throw instead of silently creating an unusable object. |
| 8.0.0 | filename, config, encoding and useIncludePath are nullable now. |
