PHP Readability ================ This is a PHP port of Arc90's original Javascript version of Readability. (Arc90 has since relaunched the project.) For instructions on how to use this, please see For a more flexible and robust solution to article extraction, take a look at \[Full-Text RSS\]() - it makes use of PHP Readability, but offers much more. Feel free to fork this and change/improve it. I would love to see your results. Please do share them and I'll consider pulling them in. PHP Readability is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the same license as the original JS version). The original Javascript version can be found here: (readability.js) ### Donate If you find this useful, please consider purchasing \[Full-Text RSS\]() or donating via \[Gittip\]() ### Simple example cleanRepair(); $html = $tidy->value; } // give it to Readability $readability = new Readability($html, $url); // print debug output? // useful to compare against Arc90's original JS version - // simply click the bookmarklet with FireBug's console window open $readability->debug = false; // convert links to footnotes? $readability->convertLinksToFootnotes = true; // process it $result = $readability->init(); // does it look like we found what we wanted? if ($result) { echo "== Title =====================================\\n"; echo $readability->getTitle()->textContent, "\\n\\n"; echo "== Body ======================================\\n"; $content = $readability->getContent()->innerHTML; // if we've got Tidy, let's clean it up for output if (function\_exists('tidy\_parse\_string')) { $tidy = tidy\_parse\_string($content, array('indent'=>true, 'show-body-only' => true), 'UTF8'); $tidy->cleanRepair(); $content = $tidy->value; } echo $content; } else { echo 'Looks like we couldn\\'t find the content. :('; }# php-readability
