Re: [xsl] XSLT 2+ Options for PHP?

Saxon/C is based on the Java source code of Saxon, compiled using Excelsior JET 
into a native executable (e.g. DLL) so there is no remaining dependency on a 
Java compiler or run-time (at any rate, any vestigial Java technology is well 
hidden). It has a PHP front-end. There's no run-time bridge involved, though 
compared to libxslt it does have the limitation of not being able to take input 
directly from in-memory tree built directly by an external XML parser: the 
input has to be supplied as lexical XML.

I'm tasked with implementing a non-trivial XSLT transform (needs to read 
multiple docs and produce multiple HTML result files) within a PHP-based 
system.

I have zero experience with PHP so kind of shooting in the dark here.

I know that PHP uses libxml natively and so only provides XSLT 1 support out 
of the box. 

I see also that it's possible to integrate Saxon using the PHP Java bridge. 
However this client appears to want to avoid the use of Java in this system 
(although I need to confirm that).

My question: Are there any XSLT 2 (or greater) options for PHP that do not 
require Java?

Thanks,
