David C. Druffner : phpTidyHt

"is a PHP script which allows you to filter all your PHP generated HTML through HTML Tidy before it is sent to the browser. Thus you have the advantage of automatically fixing most HTML errors on the fly, presenting a nicely formatted source to the browser, optionally converting the output to XHTML automatically, and obtaining useful information for debugging HTML source.
