xslt_create — Create a new XSLT processor
Create and return a new XSLT processor resource for manipulation by the other XSLT functions.
Returns an XSLT processor link identifier on success, or FALSE on error.
Example #1 xslt_create() example
<?php
function xml2html($xmldata, $xsl)
{
/* $xmldata -> your XML */
/* $xsl -> XSLT file */
$path = 'include';
$arguments = array('/_xml' => $xmldata);
$xsltproc = xslt_create();
xslt_set_encoding($xsltproc, 'ISO-8859-1');
$html =
xslt_process($xsltproc, 'arg:/_xml', "$path/$xsl", NULL, $arguments);
if (empty($html)) {
die('XSLT processing error: '. xslt_error($xsltproc));
}
xslt_free($xsltproc);
return $html;
}
?>

Hello,
I changed the function from myadzel (?) a little bit, so that it now correctly uses either a file OR a string as parameter - WITHOUT producing PHP warnings. See here:
<?php
function xslt ($xml, $xsl) {
$xh = @xslt_create();
$args['xml'] = ( file_exists( $xml ) )?join ('', file ($xml)):$xml;
$args['xsl'] = ( file_exists( $xsl ) )?join ('', file ($xsl)):$xsl;
// try with a string
$result = @xslt_process ($xh, 'arg:/xml', 'arg:/xsl', NULL, $args);
// try with resource
if (!$result) { $result = @xslt_process ($xh, $xml, $xsl); }
@xslt_free ($xh);
return $result;
}
?>
Examples:
echo xslt ('./index.xml', './index.xsl');
echo xslt ('<test><example>An example!</example></test>', './index.xsl');

Hardly can I find this. But, those required dll is not included in the package and no link for download.
It's a pitty that no discussion about this within php.net
Note to Win32 Users: In order to enable this module on a Windows environment, you must copy several files from the DLL folder of the PHP/Win32 binary package to the SYSTEM32 folder of your windows machine. (Ex: C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32). For PHP <= 4.2.0 copy sablot.dll and expat.dll to your SYSTEM32 folder. For PHP >= 4.2.1 copy sablot.dll, expat.dll and iconv.dll to your SYSTEM32 folder.

All for a long time know about a problem xslt-transformation in php.
We shall try a trivial way, knowing, that xslt_process () accepts string or resources in it's parameters.
function xslt ($xml, $xsl) {
$xh = @xslt_create();
$args['xml'] = join ('', file ($xml));
$args['xsl'] = join ('', file ($xsl));
// try with a string
$result = @xslt_process ($xh, 'arg:/xml', 'arg:/xsl', NULL, $args);
// try with resource
if (!$result) { $result = @xslt_process ($xh, $xml, $xsl); }
@xslt_free ($xh);
return $result;
}
For example: echo xslt ('./index.xml', './index.xsl');

It should be noted that xslt_create() will return FALSE in the case of failure (Sablotron processor could not be created).
This, obtained from looking at the source code extension.

In order to pass PHP variables into an XSL document you need to do the following:
Firstly I created the following function to use:
function GetXHTML($sXML, $sXSL, $aParameters)
{
$hXML = xslt_create();
$aArguments = array('/_xml' => $sXML, '/_xsl' => $sXSL);
$sXHTML = xslt_process($hXML, 'arg:/_xml', 'arg:/_xsl', NULL, $aArguments, $aParameters);
xslt_free($hXML);
return $sXHTML;
}
Then call it like thus, passing the XML and XSL as a string with the final parameter being an array which can contain as many values as you wish to pass in:
$sXHTML = GetXHTML($sXML, $sXSL, array("age"=>"26"));
Then in the XSL document you need the following:
<xsl:param name="age" />
Then where you want to display the value of age you do this:
<xsl:value-of select="$age" />
Thanks now.
