note 61479 added to ref.xslt

If you need to transform an XML document that specifies the URL of its own prefered stylesheet (using the processing instruction <?xml-stylesheet href="xyz.xsl"?>, you can start by parsing the XML data to retrieve that URL, and then call the xslt_process function using the specified stylesheet : <?php /* A small class for stylesheet URL extraction from an XML */ class XMLStylesheet { var $hParser; var $xml; var $stylesheet; function XMLStylesheet($filename) { $this->hParser = xml_parser_create(); xml_set_object($this->hParser, $this); xml_set_processing_instruction_handler($this->hParser, 'fnProcessingInstruction'); $this->xml = file_get_contents($filename); xml_parse($this->hParser, $this->xml, true); xml_parser_free($this->hParser); } function getStylesheet() { return $this->stylesheet; } function fnProcessingInstruction($hParser, $target, $data) { if($target == 'xml-stylesheet') { ereg('href="([^"]+)"', $data, $regs); $this->stylesheet = $regs[1]; } } } /* Now, instanciate an object of this class, given the filename of our XML data */ $xml = new XMLStylesheet('my_data.xml'); /* And finally, retrieve the URL of the stylesheet specified in the XML data. */ $xsl_url = $xml->getStylesheet()); /* Now you can xslt_process as usual. */ ?> ---- Server IP: 195.221.21.36 Probable Submitter: 81.66.150.35 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xslt.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+61479 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61479&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61479&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61479&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61479&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61479&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61479&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61479&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+61479&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
