#16193 [Com]: XML parser error 3: no element found

ID: 16193 Comment by: southen-antispam- at pipeline dot com Reported By: kdesormeaux at atre dot net Status: Closed Bug Type: XSLT related Operating System: windows2000/linux... PHP Version: 4.3.0-dev New Comment: Ok well I am getting something like this with the following code, and I'm running Redhat9 with PHP 4.3.4. My error message is Warning: Sablotron error on line 1: XML parser error 3: no element found in /home/httpd/vhosts/noctambus.com/httpdocs/reviews/xml/standardbrowser.php on line 85 My code is: /* transform method */ function transform() { $arguments = array( '/_xml' => $this->xml, '/_xsl' => $this->xsl ); $this->setOutput( xslt_process($this->processor, 'arg:/_xml', 'arg:/_xsl', NULL, $arguments) ); $this->setError($err); } Can someone suggest a workaround? Thanks!

It seems that you should provide the same prefix when passing files to xslt_process (). The following works fine with me, using the "Very important" example from above with local xml and xslt files, named 'sample.xml' and 'sample.xsl' respectively: <?php # create XSLT processor $xsltProcessor = xslt_create (); # generate filebase from working directory $fileBase = 'file://' . getcwd () . '/'; # process the 'sample.xml' and 'sample.xsl' files $result = xslt_process ( $xsltProcessor, $fileBase . 'sample.xml', $fileBase . 'sample.xsl' ); # print the result if ( $result ) { echo 'Success ...'; echo '<pre>', "\n"; echo htmlentities ( $result ); echo '</pre>'; } else { echo 'Fail due to error: ' . xslt_error($xh); } # free the processor resource xslt_free ( $xsltProcessor ); ?> Alternatively, you can use the xslt_set_base function to provide the processor with an explicit working directory: <?php # create XSLT processor $xsltProcessor = xslt_create (); # generate filebase from working directory $fileBase = 'file://' . getcwd () . '/'; # point xslt process base to working directory xslt_set_base ( $xsltProcessor, $fileBase ); # process the 'sample.xml' and 'sample.xsl' files $result = xslt_process ( $xsltProcessor, 'sample.xml', 'sample.xsl' ); # print the result if ( $result ) { echo 'Success ...'; echo '<pre>', "\n"; echo htmlentities ( $result ); echo '</pre>'; } else { echo 'Fail due to error: ' . xslt_error($xh); } # free the processor resource xslt_free ( $xsltProcessor ); ?> --- Hope some people will profit from this, at least i found a working solution :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-28 22:15:34] sniper@php.net This should be fixed now as the related files were reverted back to the 4.2.1 level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-28 21:47:18] imajes@php.net this isn't critical. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-24 13:04:34] chregu@php.net Changed title Somehow two different bugs got into here... Let's name it after the real bug... (or should i open a new one) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-13 05:48:26] chregu@php.net The same problem here. Code which works very fine under 4.2 just spits out: Warning: Sablotron error on line 1: XML parser error 3: no element found in xslt.php on line 62 BC-break? or a real bug? chregu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
