Question

I’m using HTML Purifier and saw a naming conflict with my existing code. The variable $config (an array) is already in use in my code for my config.ini file but based on the HTML Purifier docs, it’s also using $config (as object) for customization. Is there a way to rename the $config used by HTML Purifier to something like $htmlpur_config?

When you create your configuration object just name it differently

<?php
    require_once '/path/to/htmlpurifier/library/HTMLPurifier.auto.php';

    $htmlpur_config = HTMLPurifier_Config::createDefault();
    $htmlpur_config->set('Core.Encoding', 'ISO-8859-1'); // replace with your encoding
    $htmlpur_config->set('HTML.Doctype', 'HTML 4.01 Transitional'); // replace with your doctype
    $purifier = new HTMLPurifier($htmlpur_config);

    $clean_html = $purifier->purify($dirty_html);
?>

The key is creating the $config object and passing it into the constructor for the HTMLPurifier
