tidy::__construct — Constructs a new tidy object

### Description

tidy tidy::__construct ([ string `$filename` [, mixed `$config` [, string `$encoding` [, bool `$use_include_path` ]]]] )

tidy::__construct() constructs a new tidy object.

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().

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::__construct() example

`<?php
$html = <<< HTML
<!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" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head><title>title</title></head>
<body>
<p>paragraph <bt />
text</p>
</body></html>
HTML;
$tidy = new tidy;
$tidy->parseString($html);
$tidy->CleanRepair();
if ($tidy->errorBuffer) {
echo "The following errors were detected:\n";
echo $tidy->errorBuffer;
}
?>`

The above example will output:

    The following errors were detected:
    line 8 column 14 - Error: <bt> is not recognized!
    line 8 column 14 - Warning: discarding unexpected <bt>
