htmlawed
========

[](#htmlawed)

PHP 8.4+ compatible fork of [vanilla/htmlawed](https://github.com/vanilla/htmlawed).

A composer wrapper for the [htmLawed](http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/internal_utilities/htmLawed/) library to purify & filter HTML.

Why this fork?
--------------

[](#why-this-fork)

The original `vanilla/htmlawed` (v2.2.15, Sep 2023) is unmaintained and triggers PHP 8.4 deprecation notices due to implicit nullable parameters. These deprecation notices produce output that breaks HTTP headers in API responses.

### Changes from vanilla/htmlawed v2.2.15

[](#changes-from-vanillahtmlawed-v2215)

- Added explicit nullable type hints to `Htmlawed::filter()` (`?array $config`, `string|array|null $spec`)
- Added parameter and return types to `Htmlawed::filter()` and `Htmlawed::filterRSS()`
- Bumped minimum PHP requirement to 8.1
- No changes to the htmLawed core library (`htmLawed.php`)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Requires PHP 8.1+.

```
composer require eyupcanakman/htmlawed
```

If you're migrating from `vanilla/htmlawed`:

```
composer require eyupcanakman/htmlawed
composer remove vanilla/htmlawed
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
echo Htmlawed::filter('Hello world!');
// Outputs: 'Hello world!'

echo Htmlawed::filter('nothing to seealert("xss")');
// Outputs: 'nothing to seealert("xss")'

// RSS filtering
echo Htmlawed::filterRSS('Hello world!');
// Outputs: 'Hello world!'
```

See the [htmLawed documentation](http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/internal_utilities/htmLawed/htmLawed_README.htm#s2.2) for the full list of config and spec options.
