PHP Function For Cleaning Up HTML And JavaSctipt Code

        // This is a function for PHP scripts to clean up HTML code before outputting it.
// The function applies correct indentation to HTML/XHTML 1.0 and JavaScript
// And makes the output much more readable.
// You can specify the wanted indentation through the variable $indent

<?php

//Function to seperate multiple tags one line
function fix_newlines_for_clean_html($fixthistext)
{
	$fixthistext_array = explode("\n", $fixthistext);

Really like this function, comes in very handy. Used it a couple of times already, so great job! However i've made one adjustment for textarea's, because in the textarea, you will get de indent whitespace, which is quite annoying. The 3rd else if i made into:


//If closing HTML tag or closing JavaScript clams, decrease indentation and then apply the new level
else if (preg_match("/<\/(.*)>/", $currentuncleanhtml) || preg_match("/^(\s|\t)*\}{1}(\s|\t)*$/", $currentuncleanhtml))
{
    $indentlevel--;
    $replaceindent = "";
    for ($o = 0; $o < $indentlevel; $o++)
    {
        $replaceindent .= $indent;
    }
    
    // fix for textarea whitespace and in my opinion nicer looking script tags	
    if($currentuncleanhtml == '' || $currentuncleanhtml == '')
    {
        $cleanhtml_array[$uncleanhtml_key] = $cleanhtml_array[($uncleanhtml_key - 1)] . $currentuncleanhtml;
        unset($cleanhtml_array[($uncleanhtml_key - 1)]);
    }
    else
    {
        $cleanhtml_array[$uncleanhtml_key] = $replaceindent.$currentuncleanhtml;
    }
}
