Clean up PHP/HTML pages

Question

Does anybody know of a good tool that cleans up files with php and html in it? I've used Tidy before but it doesn't do a good job at leaving the php code alone. I know there are various implementations of tidy but does any tool reign champion specifically for pages with html and php?

Answer 1

清理代码首先要将PHP与HTML分开！

Answer 2

You can use this PHP class, if you can't install the "Tidy" module (sometimes when you buy hosts you can't).

Answer 3

I am aware that this is a pretty old question but still a valid one. I currently use this and it seems to be doing a decent job: PHP Formatter

For HTML, CSS and JS, DirtyMarkup is a handy tool. Only drawback of these is that you have to copy and paste the code twice.

Answer 4

As far as I know, Tidy is the "reigning champion" when is comes to cleaning html code. The only other tool I've personally used in cleaning code is within Adobe Dreamweaver.

Answer 5

I would agree with seperating your HTML and your PHP code. However, I think you have to think of it kind of backwards. I would seperate your HTML code from your PHP code. Take your HTML and block it up and use include 'html_code_1.php'; . Thus you can run Tidy on your HTML and not worry about it affecting your PHP code.

Answer 6

I previously had this problem, however had issues with other programs reorganizing what I coded, and trying to clean it up usually ended up doing more harm than good. To solve this, I am starting to learn the ins and outs of Code Igniter , a basic PHP framework that uses the MVC approach to splitting HTML and PHP. I haven't tested much, but it looks like much less hassle than writing HTML and PHP straight into the single file.
