tidy_repair_file — Repair a file and return it as a string

### Description

string tidy_repair_file ( string `$filename` [, mixed `$config` [, string `$encoding` [, bool `$use_include_path` ]]] )

This function repairs the given file and returns it as a string.

The `config` parameter can be passed either as an array or as a string. If you pass it as a string, it means the name of the configuration file, otherwise it is interpreted as the options themselves. Check » http://tidy.sourceforge.net/docs/quickref.html for an explanation about each option.

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.
