Bug description

I apologise if this isn't quite Herd's bug, but I cannot seem to be able to get this one to work and couldn't think of any better place to post it.

According to Tidy installation instructions the extension is bundled with PHP when using --with-tidy configuration option.

When I run which tidy I get the path /usr/bin/tidy. I also get the manual with the version 5.8.0 calling man tidy.

I tried following Adding Extensions instructions, but pecl could not find valid package:

pear/tidy requires PHP (version >= 4.3.0, version <= 6.0.0), installed version is 8.2.12

Because I cannot get it to work I cannot install dependency for my project which makes use of ext-tidy. Even if I remove it from the require section, when I run the code such as:

use tidy;

(new tidy)->repairString("...")

I'm getting Error: Class "tidy" not found.

I've checked loaded extensions and it doesn't seem to list tidy:

[53] => xml
[54] => xmlreader
[55] => xmlwriter
[56] => zip
[57] => xdebug
[58] => Zend OPcache

Now, it is likely that tidy I have access to via terminal comes from brew installation as it seem to be listed as tidy-html5 so perhaps it's just a simple way of pointing Herd's php to this extension, but I'm not entirely sure which file should I link it to from php.ini (if in fact that's what needs doing).

Any help would be much appreciated on this.

Steps to reproduce

Fresh installation of herd on macOS Sonoma 14.0 - try to install any composer package that makes use of ext-tidy.

I'm working on it: support tidy extension. But I don't know if Marcel will add it in Herd. This is a built-in extension, so it can only be enabled when compiling PHP for now.

Sorry, but we don't want to enable the Tidy extension by default for all Laravel Herd users, as this is quite a specific extension/need.

As someone who needs this extension, I wonder if you could leave a few breadcrumbs to a (working) way of enabling this extension. The pecl approach doesn't work with any PHP version above 6, and I'm fresh out of ideas of how I can make my Herd installation enable this extension on MacOS.

You should be able to download the macports zip file and use the .so as an extension in Herd

Ha, I knew you were awesome, but didn't expect you to be THIS awesome AND fast :P Thanks, Marcel!

For prosperity, I found the tidy.so file in a folder called /opt/local/lib/php83/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20230831/tidy.so after installing it with MacPorts.
