The Bakery, the CakePHP repository, has had several new components, articles and tutorials posted lately. Here's a list of a few:

• MySQL collation behavior
• Image Magick Resize Helper
• Tidy Output Filtering
• Setting SVN Ignore properties
• Release: Pure Cake Power in RC1

Be sure to check out The Bakery for more great articles, tutorial, components and helpers for this flexible framework.

Antoine Ughetto has quickly posted about an interesting combination - php_tidy and the Yahoo! YUI Treeview to easily make a nested, recursive list.

A rapid experimentation with php tidy and Yui treeview for rendering the DOM of a specific page. We user the tidy_parse_file() and a simple recursive function to display a treeview.

You can check out an example over on their demo page. Plug in your website of choice and get the resulting HTML stricture (all cleaned up) represented as a nice, ordered tree list.

DevShed wraps up their series on using the Tidy extension with this last tutorial showing methods of tracking parse errors with the help of the library.

So, the question that comes up is the following: what is the next step? Well, from a PHP developer's point of view, tracking all the errors that occurred when parsing a concrete (X)HTML string might be quite useful. Therefore, in this final tutorial of the series I'm going to cover some new functions bundled with the Tidy extension which are designed to show you the potential errors raised when interpreting (X)HTML data.

The tutorial shows how to use the tidy_get_error_buffer, tidy_access_count, tidy_error_count and tidy_warning_count functions to search through your code and handle whatever errors (and error data) that might come up.

In this new tutorial from DevShed, they demonstrate the use of a handy little bit of functionality to help keep your code (and markup) clean - Tidy.

Now that you know that the Tidy (X)HTML formatting/correcting application can be called directly from your own PHP 5 scripts, over the course of this series, which is comprised of three friendly tutorials, I'm going to walk you through using the bunch of useful functions included with this library.

This tutorial (part one) talks about the parsing of (X)HTML strings and using the tidy_clear_repair, tidy_parse_file and tidy_repair_file functions to handle the cleanup of (X)HTML strings and files automatically.
