HTML Purifier 2.0.0 released

Post by Ambush Commander »

Finally, HTML Purifier 2.0.0 has been released. For the uninitiated, HTML Purifier is a standards-compliant HTML filter written in PHP. Because it uses whitelists and a comprehensive knowledge of the HTML specification, it is bullet-proof against XSS, fixes malformed input rather than rejects it, and is open and extensible. This release introduces Tidy and the Advanced API, which are really cool features for advanced users.

If you've used HTML Purifier and would like to help get the word out, please vote HTML Purifier up on these social news sites: DZone, Reddit, Digg and del.icio.us. Oh, and don't forget to blog! Thank you all!

It may be a good idea to submit a podcast to PHP Abstract as well (of course I got this idea from d11wtq).

i'm kind of confused as to what html purifier does. I went to the website and read about it and put some html into the demo and it didnt change it at all. What does it do?

Thank you all! Status report: The turnout has been magnificent: the DZone listing for the release hit the top ten popular list, and we're about to break 100 del.icio.us bookmarks. Digg and Reddit listings are a bit of a wet noodle, but what can you do (I've certainly gotten more Diggs than my previous articles, but it probably won't break critical mass. Still need to fiddle around with Digg. And Reddit... well... let's not mention it).

Maugrim, thanks for the heads up, the link has been fixed. Everah, thanks for the blog post. guitarlvr, I would recommend you try out some of the sample inputs listed on the bottom of the demo page.

I'm blogging about it at this very moment my friend. It likely won't get published today, because I still haven't had a chance to play with version two. Once I have, you'll see my blog post pop up. :)
