How to update php HTML Purifier with Composer

Question

I have an older version of HTML Purifer and I’m having difficulty finding information on how to upgrade the version to 4.14.

Does anyone have any guide on how to do this? I found some steps that was for newer users. So I conducted the following steps for new users but will this work the same for users who is currently using HTML Purifier but is just trying to update the file? The steps I found are as follows:

1. Updating the composer.json and adding "ezyang/htmlpurifier":"4.11.0" to the require property

2. Then running composer ezyang/htmlpurifier --with-dependencies

Any advice would be helpful.

Answer 1

If you manually edit composer.json, you should then be able to simply run composer update. Alternatively, you you could run composer require ezyang/htmlpurifier:4.11.0 --with-all-dependencies to force an upgrade.

One or the other:

• Manually edit composer.json and run composer update.
• Simply run composer require ezyang/htmlpurifier:4.11.0 --with-all-dependencies.

There should be no need to do both.
