This way won't work (single quote delimited strings are not parsed for
variable references), correctly it would have to be:
<?PHP
print '<a href="/texis/master/search/mysite.html?q='
. $celebsearch . '">';
?>
or better even (assuming that $celebsearch is not yet URLencoded):
<?PHP
print '<a href="/texis/master/search/mysite.html?q='
. urlencode($celebsearch) . '">';
?>
Another alternative would be to pre-process the PHP3 file (before sending
it to tidy) and replacing all occurences of <?PHP ... ?> with a placeholder
string, storing the content of the PHP tags in an array and then
post-processing tidy's output and inserting back the PHP codes.
In Perl, I would do that like this:
## pre-process:
# replace all <?PHP ... ?> blocks with a placeholder string
$i = 0;
while ($filecontent =~ m/(<\?PHP.*?\?>)/gsi) {
$PHPStack[$i] = defined($1) ? $1 : "";
$filecontent =~ s/<\?PHP.*?\?>/PHPStackPlaceHolder\[$i\]/si;
$i++;
}
## post-process:
# replace all placeholder strings with the right <?PHP ... ?> blocks
for ($i = 0; $i <= scalar @PHPStack; $i++) {
$tidyOutput =~ s/PHPStackPlaceHolder\[$i\]/$PHPStack[$i]/s;
}
