use tidy. i do it all the time. note that it does its best, but it will get to xhtml at least; which is an xml compliant document. there's a pecl module for it, or you can just install the command line and run system() type calls too. http://tidy.sf.net (that would be if this is a regular thing, if it's a one time thing then yeah... do what Edward suggested and just manually do it once. sometimes you can't script things or it's too much effort... i've done way too many migrations and you usually always have some manual work :)) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
