XSLT XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) Transformations) is a language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents. It is a standard defined by The World Wide Web consortium (W3C). Information about XSLT and related technologies can be found at &url.xslt;. This extension uses Sabloton and expat, which can both be found at &url.sablotron;. Binaries are provided as well as source. On UNIX, run configure with the --with-sablot. The Sablotron library should be installed somewhere your compiler can find it. This PHP extension implements support Sablotron from Ginger Alliance in PHP. This toolkit lets you transform XML documents into other documents, including new XML documents, but also into HTML or other target formats. It basically provides a standardized and portable template mechanism, separating content and design of a website. xslt_closelog Clear the logfile for a given instance of Sablotron bool xslt_closelog resource xh xh A reference to the XSLT parser. This function returns false if parser does not refer to a valid parser, or if the closing of the logfile fails. Otherwise it returns true. xslt_create Create a new XSL processor. resource xslt_create This function returns a handle for a new XSL processor. This handle is needed in all subsequent calls to XSL functions. xslt_errno Return the current error number int xslt_errno int xh Return the current error number of the given XSL processor. If no handle is given, the last error number that occured anywhere is returned. xslt_error Return the current error string mixed xslt_error int xh Return the current error string of the given XSL processor. If no handle is given, the last error string that occured anywhere is returned. xslt_fetch_result Fetch a (named) result buffer string xslt_fetch_result int xh string result_name Fetch a result buffer from the XSLT processor identified by the given handle. If no result name is given, the buffer named "/_result" is fetched. xslt_free Free XSLT processor void xslt_free resource xh Free the XSLT processor identified by the given handle. xslt_openlog Set a logfile for XSLT processor messages bool xslt_openlog resource xh string logfile int loglevel Set a logfile for the XSLT processor to place all of its error messages. xslt_output_begintransform Begin an XSLT transformation on the output void xslt_output_begintransform string xslt_filename This function will begin the output transformation on your data. From the point you call xslt_output_begintransform till the point you call xslt_output_endtransform all output will be transformed through the xslt stylesheet given by the first argument. <?php $xsl_file = "article.xsl"; xslt_output_begintransform($xsl_file); $doc = new_xmldoc('1.0'); $article = $doc->new_root('article'); $article->new_child('title', 'The History of South Tyrol'); $article->new_child('author', 'Sterling Hughes'); $article->new_child('body', 'Back after WWI, Italy gained South Tyrol from Austria. Since that point nothing interesting has happened'); echo $doc->dumpmem(); xslt_output_endtransform(); xslt_output_endtransform End an output transformation started with xslt_output_begintransform void xslt_output_endtransform The xslt_output_endtransform ends the output transformation started by the xslt_output_begintransform function. You must call this function in order to see the results of the output transformation. xslt_process Transform XML data through a string containing XSL data bool xslt_process string xsl_data string xml_data string result The xslt_process takes a string containing the XSLT stylesheet as its first argument, it takes a second string containing the XML data you want to transform and then a third string containing the results of the transformation. xslt_process will return true on success and false on failure, to get the error number and error string if an error occurs use the xslt_errno and xslt_error functions. <?php $xslData = ' <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="article"> <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1"> <tr> <td width="20%">   </title> <td width="80%"> <h2><xsl:value-of select="title"></h2> <h3><xsl:value-of select="author"></h3> <br> <xsl:value-of select="body"> </td> </tr> </table> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>'; $xmlData = ' <?xml version="1.0"?> <article> <title>Learning German</title> <author>Sterling Hughes</author> <body> Essential phrases: <br> <br> Komme sie mir sagen, woe die toilette es?<br> Eine grande beer bitte!<br> Noch einem bitte.<br> </body> </article>'; if (xslt_process($xslData, $xmlData, $result)) { echo "Here is the brilliant in-depth article on learning"; echo " German: "; echo "<br>\n<br>"; echo $result; } else { echo "There was an error that occurred in the XSL transformation...\n"; echo "\tError number: " . xslt_errno() . "\n"; echo "\tError string: " . xslt_error() . "\n"; exit; } ?> xslt_run Apply a XSLT stylesheet to a file. bool xslt_run resource xh string xslt_file string xml_data_file string result array xslt_params array xslt_args Process the xml_data_file by applying the xslt_file stylesheet to it. The stylesheet has access to xslt_params and the processor is started with xslt_args. The result of the XSLT transformation is placed in the named buffer (default is "/_result"). xslt_set_sax_handler Set SAX handlers for a XSLT processor bool xslt_set_sax_handler resource xh array handlers Set SAX handlers on the resource handle given by xh. xslt_transform Perform an XSLT transformation bool xslt_transform string xsl string xml string result string params string args string resultBuffer The xslt_transform provides an interface to sablotron's more advanced features without requiring you to use the resource API.
