?
Solution 2:
Have you taken a look at Tidy?
Example:
$options = array("show-body-only" => true);
$tidy = tidy_parse_string("<B>Hello</I> How are <U> you?</B>", $options);
tidy_clean_repair($tidy);
echo$tidy;
Outputs:

Solution 3:
I would install the PHP bindings for Tidy. You can then use this to clean up an HTML fragment using the following code:
<?php$fragment = '<p>What a mighty fine <a href="blah">da';
$tidy = new tidy();
$tidy->parseString($fragment,array('show-body-only'=>true),'utf8');
$tidy->cleanRepair();
echo$tidy;
