Hi all, I'm trying to use xslt_process() to transform a variable containing XML data

with an xsl file into a result using PHP. Incidentally the XML is from an external source, i.e. a database. However despite following the examples in

www.php.net I am unable to do so. The code works out to something like this:

if (! empty($searchword )) $query = "SELECT aml FROM arguments WHERE aml LIKE '%$searchword%'"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Query failed"); $line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC); var_dump($line); // Create an array $arguments = array('/_xml'=> $line); //XSL file $xsl = "./sheet1.xsl"; // Create an XSLT processor $xslthandler = xslt_create(); // Perform the transformation $html = xslt_process( $xslthandler, 'arg:/_xml', $xsl, NULL, $arguments); // Detect errors if (!$html) die ('XSLT processing error: '.xslt_error($xslthandler)); // Destroy the XSLT processor xslt_free($xslthandler); // Output the resulting HTML print $html; What I get on the screen is: Array ( [0] => "With the contents of my variable...") And: Warning: Sablotron error on line 1: XML parser error 2: syntax error in /home/httpd/html/ctan/resultworkingcopy2.php on line 93 XSLT processing error: XML parser error 2: syntax error What gives? I'm really frustrated and would greatly appreciate it if someone

would point out where I've made an error before I start ripping all my hair

out! Thanks... Thanks... Thanks! Regards, Chia

I may be missing something, but your not parsing XML. Your $line contains an array of data from the database, not xml.
