tidy_parse_string — Parse a document stored in a string

### Description

Procedural style:

tidy tidy_parse_string ( string `$input` [, mixed `$config` [, string `$encoding` ]] )

Object oriented style:

bool tidy->parseString ( string `$input` [, mixed `$config` [, string `$encoding` ]] )

tidy_parse_string() parses a document stored in 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.

Example#1 tidy_parse_string() example

`<?php
ob_start();
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>error<br>another line</i>
</body>
</html>
<?php
$buffer = ob_get_clean();
$config = array('indent' => TRUE,
'output-xhtml' => TRUE,
'wrap' => 200);
$tidy = tidy_parse_string($buffer, $config, 'UTF8');
$tidy->cleanRepair();
echo $tidy;
?>`

The above example will output:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
      <head>
        <title>
          test
        </title>
      </head>
      <body>
        <p>
          error<br />
          another line
        </p>
      </body>
    </html>

> Note: The optional parameters `config` and `encoding` were added in Tidy 2.0.
