Try:
<xsl:for-each select="faculty/person[(_at_)id = $id]">
<ul>
<li>Name:<xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="first"
/><xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="last" /></li>
<li>Title:<xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="title"
/></li>
<li>Research Interests:<xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:value-of
select="research" /></li>
</ul>
</xsl:for-each>
Also, you can also use   to get a blank space.
Hope this helps,
Trish

Subject: [xsl] Using URL Variable in XSL (with PHP)
This has no doubt been addressed before, but I wasn't quite able to find
a solution to fit my situation. Or to understand any of solutions, at
any rate.
My XML file contains info about a number of people, each of whom has an
ID. I want to users to click on a link which includes the ID as a
variable and display that single person's info.
Here's a simplified version of the XML:
<faculty>
<person id="1">
<first>Joe</first>
<last>Smith</last>
<title>Professor</title>
<research>My research is very complicated.</research>
</person>
<person id="2">
<first>Mary</first>
<last>Jones</last>
<title>Chair</title>
<research>I am interested in the effects of grape soda
on the self-esteem of the African eight-legged spotted
dachshund.</research>
</person>
</faculty>
The link would be "../fac_profile.php?id=1"
fac_profile.php looks like this:
<h1>Research Profile</h1>
<?php
if (isset($_GET['id'])) {
$xml = simplexml_load_file('xml/faculty.xml');
$xsl = new DOMDocument;
$xsl->load('xslt/fac_profile.xsl');
$proc = new XSLTProcessor;
$proc->importStyleSheet($xsl);
echo $proc->transformToXML($xml);
}
?>
My stylesheet looks like this:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:param name="id" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:if test="faculty/person[(_at_)id] = $id">
<ul>
<li>Name:<xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:value-of
select="first" /><xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="last"
/></li>
<li>Title:<xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:value-of
select="title" /></li>
<li>Research Interests:<xsl:text>
</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="research" /></li>
</ul>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I can't get the profile to display. What's wrong with my XSL (or is it
my PHP)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
