What adjustments can be made in PHP code to ensure that the original HTML input structure is maintained when using htmlpurifier?

When using htmlpurifier in PHP to sanitize HTML input, the original input structure may be altered or stripped out entirely. To ensure that the original HTML input structure is maintained, you can configure htmlpurifier to allow specific tags and attributes that are essential for your application.

// Include the HTMLPurifier library
require_once 'path/to/htmlpurifier/library/HTMLPurifier.auto.php';

// Configuration settings to allow specific tags and attributes
$config = HTMLPurifier_Config::createDefault();
$config->set('HTML.Allowed', 'p,b,a[href],img[src],ul,li');

// Create a new HTMLPurifier instance with the custom configuration
$purifier = new HTMLPurifier($config);

// Sanitize the HTML input while maintaining the original structure
$clean_html = $purifier->purify($html_input);
