Re: Escape Special Characters

The result I got is:
<img
src="./php/chart_age.php?age1=30&amp;%0a%09%09&amp;age2=10&amp;%0a%09%09&amp;age3=30&amp;%0a%09%09&amp;age4=10&amp;%0a%09%09&amp;age5=20&amp;%0a%09%09&amp;age6=0&amp;%0a%09%09&amp;age7=0&amp;%0a%09%09&amp;age8=0">.
I don't know what those ";%0a%09%09"
are but in this way I can get the values in my php
file. If I take off one &amp; for each variable in the
url the values won't be passed to the php file. It is
very odd.

You didn't show the output you got, or the correct
output thatyou
wanted.
The output from the code you showed should be rather
odd.
Most of your text is in xsl:text and the usual
reason for using xsl:text
is to allow indentation of teh stylesheet without it
affecting the
result tree, but you also have non-white characters
in your text nodes
(&amp;) so the whole text node will be copied to teh
output.

      <xsl:attribute name='src'>
              <xsl:text>./php/chart_age.php?    
age1=</xsl:text>
              <xsl:value-of select="AGE1"/>&amp;
              <xsl:text>&amp;age2=</xsl:text>

after the value of AGE1 you generate the character &
followed by a
newline two tabs then another &.
As this is in an attribute value where white space
would be normalised,
the XSLt engine will have to quote the white space
so i would expect
that you woul dget something like
 age1=33&amp;

                &amp;age2=...
