LOL - I wanted to display generated XML on screen.
Displaying it as a big long string doesn't work so well, so I passed it
through tidy just to get pretty indentation.
Tidy did a pretty could job, but for the life of me I couldn't figure
out how to do an xml fragment with tidy - it always headed head and body
tags (the config option for html in tidy is automatically disabled in
xml output mode)
Anyway - so after using a regex to get rid of the head and body tags,
there was excess indention - and I spent almost 20 minutes trying to
figure out why '/^\s{4}/','' was only working on the first line.
What I was seeing on screen in browser was multiline, but to php (and
thus preg_replace) it was still all one string, so ^ would only match once.
Sometimes it helps to take a break, watch a Stargate episode, and clear
your mind.
