Hi, we miss the scheme facility from PHP4's XSLT extension. So, we are making a new one for PHP5's XSL extension, i.e. interfacing libXSLT's xsltRegisterExtModuleFunction. If nobody else have done it/is doing it we'd like to contribute.

Can't you just use the stream-wrappers provided by PHP5? These are very well supported even in xslt. What's the difference between them and the sablotron way? Besides the different API in PHP userland? chregu

Don't know the stream-wrappers, but from what I can see it doesn't do what we need. We want to be called by XSLT (with args etc) when XSLT meets registered elements&NS. So if you want a stylesheet with side effects, say that search in a database, just chaning the stream of XML doesn't help. XSLT must be in control - must have processed the args to the handler A stream approach is "separate" pass. Again, I may have misunderstood something, so we'd really like to know if it can be achived already.. -- Adam
