Manual talk:$wgTidyInternal

The current code for handling internal Tidy only works for PHP4.x (True in Mediawiki 1.11 and earlier - it has been fixed in 1.12). If you are trying to use it, you must fix Parser.php:

In Parser.php, around line 770, you'll find a function called "function internalTidy( $text )". Remove the version in the code and replace it with the following version. This has been modified to use PHP5 versions of various functions.

        /**
         * Use the HTML tidy PECL extension to use the tidy library in-process,
         * saving the overhead of spawning a new process. 
         *
         * 'pear install tidy' should be able to compile the extension module.
         *
         * @private
         * @static
         */
        function internalTidy( $text ) {
        global $wgTidyConf;
        $fname = 'Parser::internalTidy';
        wfProfileIn( $fname );

        $tidy = tidy_parse_string( $text, $wgTidyConf, 'utf8' );
        tidy_clean_repair($tidy);
        if( tidy_get_status($tidy) == 2 ) {
            // 2 is magic number for fatal error
            // http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.tidy-get-status.php
            $cleansource = null;
        } else {
            $cleansource = tidy_get_output($tidy);
        }
        wfProfileOut( $fname );
        return $cleansource; 
      }
