Re: Subject: Seeking methods using XSLT from PHP - sablotron installation

Hi Neil,

i guess Gary uses MS propietary syntax and extensions. 

Neil, it is possibly to install sablotron through ftp if i don not have access 
to root, shell on a shared virtual hosting ? SSI, Php 4, Perl, CGI, MySql is 
installed on unix/apache.

Thanks,

Hi Gary - just up the road from me hehe (I'm in Bristol)

What sort of problems are you having - your description was (necessarily ? 
) wooly, but I started with this last week - nothing too stressful but it 
worked a charm once I got my xslt right :-)

Sablotron to me seems really transparent - just feed it an xml file (or 
string), a stylesheet (or string) and some parameters, it goes off and does 
its bit just as well as the M$ +javascript handlers.

Let us know a bit more about your problem, perhaps some examples.

Here's what I use for an example :

         $xsltproc = xslt_create();
// create new processor instance
         xslt_set_base($xsltproc, "file://f:/htdocs/hillmanonline/calendar/");
// set base directory (convenience method)
         $params=array("current"=>$current,"guid"=>time());
// hand the processor some params to pass into the stylesheet
         $args=array();
// dunno about this, but it needs to be an array - even an empty one is fine !
         
$result=xslt_process($xsltproc,"icalendar.xml","vcal.xsl",NULL,$args,$params);
// Get transformed output as a string into the $result variable
         print($result);
// pump out the response


Regards
Neil Smith.

Subject: [xsl] Seeking methods using XSLT from PHP?

Hi,

I really like to very much like to know if anyone is working successfully
with XSLT and PHP in some way and if so how they think to best approach the
problems?

I am actually attempting to switching over to PHP linux from Jscript
MicrosoftMSXML - Initiallly I have been having a lot problems with Sablotron
due to a large amount of inheretance in the stylesheets, id functions and
several other bits and pieces!

Things going through my mind!! I am wondering if libxml or something else
would lessen these problems!  Or, whether there is a way I can use a Java
processor like Xalan or something else from the PHP... can anyone be so kind
as to enlighten me on this?

Thanks in advance for any pointers or suggestions

Gary
