Hello, I have a function that uses tidy to attempt to clean up a bunch of crappy HTML that I inherited. In order to use tidy, I write the crappy HTML to a temporary file on disk, run tidy, and extract and return the clean(er) HTML. The program itself works fine but with all of the disk access, it runs quite slowly. I saw on this page (http://www.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php.php) that I could write to memory by using php://memory. Unfortunately, I could not quite get it to work. The problem is that in the below function, the code within the [[[if (file_exists($dirty_file_path))]]] does not get run if I change [[[$dirty_file_path]]] to "php://memory". Has anyone ever successfully used php://memory before? If so, what can I do to use it in my code? Thank you. //========================================================== function cleanUpHtml($dirty_html, $enclose_text=true) { $parent_dir = "/filesWrittenFromPHP/"; $now = time(); $random = rand(); //save dirty html to a file so tidy can process it $dirty_file_path = $parent_dir . "dirty" . $now . "-" . $random .
