you could create an xml file from the query and used document() to load it and
use the contents from there.

Betreff: Re: [xsl] Newbie XSL Question -- Setting up XSLT with XML file
Thanks for the info.
You are correct, I want the CDATA of the title tag (<title>?</title>) I
would want '?' in that case.
I list of devices (in this case) comes from a database query, that is where
the php comes from. I idea around the <hsn:foreach> construct is to loop
through the list and copy everything in-between the open <hsn:foreach> and
the close </hsn:foreach> count number of times (count is the number of
elements in the list). Replacing any occurrence of <hsn:variable> with the
value of the current element in the list.
Is it possible to create another file with the output of the database query
and use that somehow?
Thanks

Subject: AW: [xsl] Newbie XSL Question
hi,
you do not need to do any intermediate (php) processing. an xsl template
should be easy
something like:
define namespace hsn in
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; xmlns:hsn="whatever your
namespace is">
template for hsn:replace
<xsl:template match="hsn:replace">
WHAT YOU WANT TO OUTPUT e.g.
<xsl:element name="@name">?</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
but what i do not yet understand is where the content of the to be created
elements comes from:
<hsn:replace
with="tag">title</hsn:replace>
should get
<title>?</title>
<hsn:foreach param="devices">
<tr><td><hsn:var name="devices"/></td></tr>
</hsn:foreach>
should get
<tr><td>test1</td></tr>
<tr><td>test2</td></tr>
<tr><td>test3</td></tr>
where does "test" come from? and you need somewhere the info how many
devices there are, don't you?
is there another config file for the missing infos or am i missing
something...
thanks
chris

Betreff: [xsl] Newbie XSL Question
Hi All,
I have searched the newsgroup archives and not found anything relevant to
my
question, so here goes...
I am writing a php report generation application that will take an xml
file
as input, substitute some real variables for placeholders and create the
report. I was thinking of using xsl to help me with this task. Here is
what
I have so far:
XML Config file:
<html>
<head><title>Test Title</title></head>
<body><table><tr><td colspan="2"><hsn:replace
with="tag">title</hsn:replace></td></tr>
<hsn:foreach param="devices">
<tr><td><hsn:var name="devices"/></td></tr>
</hsn:foreach>
</body>
</html>
So in the html (xml) I have tow tags <hsn:replace> and <hsn:foreach>.
The <hsn:replace> is used to replace the complete ("<hsn:replace
with="tag">title</hsn:replace>") tag with the CDATA of the tag defined in
the hsn:replace CDATA. So replace the complete hsn:replace tag with "Test
Title".
The <hsn:foreach> tag is used to iterate over a list of things(devices in
this case) and substitute the current one in the CDATA of the hsn:foreach
tag. So if there were 3 devices(test1,test2,test3) the output I would like
would be:
<tr><td>test1</td></tr>
<tr><td>test2</td></tr>
<tr><td>test3</td></tr>
for that section.
Do you think XSL could help me in any of these tasks? I assume I will have
my php scripts write some intermediate output (xml) in which the hsn:*
tags
a changed to something more useful for XSL. Then run the intermediate file
through the XSL processor w/ a stylesheet to get the final output.
Is any of this possible?
Thanks so much for your input!
Glenn
