How to close unclosed HTML Tags?

Whenever we are fetching some user inputed content with some editing from the database or similar sources, we might retrieve the portion which only contains the opening tag but no closing.

This can hamper the website's current layout.

Is there a clientside or serverside way of fixing this?

Found a great answer for this one:

Use PHP 5 and use the loadHTML() method of the DOMDocument object. This auto parses badly formed HTML and a subsequent call to saveXML() will output the valid HTML. The DOM functions can be found here:

http://www.php.net/dom

The usage of this:

$doc = new DOMDocument();

$doc->loadHTML($yourText);

$yourText = $doc->saveHTML();
