Install Tidy, PHP

KyleT picture KyleT · Jun 28, 2010 · Viewed 37.6k times · Source

I guess when php was installed on my box --with-tidy arg was not included.

When browsing my php.ini the line:

;extension=php_tidy.dll

is missing.

How can I add the module to my php install? Note I tried adding:

extension=php_tidy.dll

but with no luck.

I checked the docs but all they say is:

This extension is bundled with PHP 5 and greater, and is installed using the --with-tidy configure option.

On Ubuntu, you can add tidy to your php5 installation by running this command in a terminal:

$ sudo apt-get install php5-tidy

If you want to check if it is already installed or validate that the command above worked:

$ php -i | grep libTidy
libTidy Release => 25 March 2009 // means tidy is installed

To install both php5 and tidy at the same time, use this command (as an alternative to the "--with-tidy" configuration option):

$ sudo apt-get install php5 php5-tidy
