RE: associating xml with xsl

2005-09-05 01:20:58
Hi,

I'm doing a site for which xml content needs to be delivered 
three ways

1)
(raw xml, xsl stylesheet is a dont care)
http://site.com/somefile.xml

2)
(transformed xml -> html via xsl stylesheet)
http://site.com/somefile.xml

3)
(transformed xml -> html via xsl stylesheet, php accepting 
additional params)
http://site.com/transform.php?file=somefile.xml

(#2 and #3 use same stylesheet)

Given this goal, I'd like some advice on how to associate style sheets
with xml documents, I'm stumped on the intelligent way to do this :(

Note that not all xml files will use the same stylesheets.

It doesn't appear I can use <?xml stylesheet ...> because in 
#1 the raw
untransformed xml needs to be accessed and the stylesheet PI seems to
force a transformation by whatever's accessing it which i DONT want in
this case, but DO want in #2

Here the problem is the browser etc. you use. Just because there's a 
xml-stylesheet PI in the document, it doesn't mean it *has* to be used. So I 
see no reason why not just stick the xml-stylesheet into the document. If the 
user wants to see the raw XML, then they can just see the document source.

Cheers,

Jarno
