You can also use this function to repair xml, for example if stray ampersands etc are breaking it:
<?php
$xml = tidy_repair_string($xml, array(
'output-xml' => true,
'input-xml' => true
));
?>
(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8, PECL tidy >= 0.7.0)

Object-oriented style
$string, array|string|null $config = null, ?string $encoding = null): string|falseProcedural style
$string, array|string|null $config = null, ?string $encoding = null): string|falseRepairs the given string.
stringThe data to be repaired.
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.
Check » http://api.html-tidy.org/#quick-reference for an explanation about each option.
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.
Returns the repaired string, or false on failure.

Example #1 tidy::repairString() example
<?php
ob_start();
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>error</i>
</body>
</html>
<?php
$buffer = ob_get_clean();
$tidy = new tidy();
$clean = $tidy->repairString($buffer);
echo $clean;
?>The above example will output:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <html> <head> <title>test</title> </head> <body> <p>error</p> </body> </html>
You can also use this function to repair xml, for example if stray ampersands etc are breaking it:

$xml = tidy_repair_string($xml, array(
'output-xml' => true,
'input-xml' => true
));
?>The docs referenced at http://tidy.sourceforge.net/docs/quickref.html above state that the configuration option 'sort-attributes' is an enumeration of 'none' and 'alpha', thereby specifying that strings of either form are the acceptable values. This may not be the case, however - on my system, the option was not honored until I set it to true. This may also be the case with other options, so experiment a bit. The output of tidy::getConfig() may be useful in this regard.Using tidy is very simple to fix a broken ods/odt document
I wrote the following code to be run from command line
<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive();
if ($zip->open($argv[1])) {
$fp = $zip->getStream('content.xml'); //file inside archive
if(!$fp)
die("Error: can't get stream to document file");
$stat = $zip->statName('content.xml');
$buf = ""; //file buffer
ob_start(); //to capture CRC error message
while (!feof($fp)) {
$buf .= fread($fp, 2048);
}
$s = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
fclose($fp);
$zip->close();
$config = array(
'indent' => true,
'clean' => true,
'input-xml' => true,
'output-xml' => true,
'wrap' => false
);
$tidy = new Tidy();
$xml = $tidy->repairstring($buf, $config);
$array=split("\n",$xml);
$file=tempnam("/tmp","xml");
$fp=fopen($file,"rw+");
foreach ($array as $key=>$value) {
fwrite($fp,trim($value),strlen(trim($value)));
if ($key==0) {
fwrite($fp,"\n");
}
}
fclose($fp);
if ($zip->open($argv[1]) === TRUE) {
$zip->deleteName('content.xml');
$zip->addFile($file, 'content.xml');
$zip->close();
echo 'recovery complete';
} else {
echo 'recovery failed';
}
unlink($file);
}
?>
