note 31687 added to function.xslt-set-sax-handlers

Using xslt_set_sax_handlers() doesn't look very different than running a SAX parser like xml_parse() on the result of an xslt_process() transformation. By the way, after a few tests, I found that performances were basically the same, between those two SAX parsers (xslt_set_sax_handlers and xml_parse) Small difference yet : it seems that xslt_set_sax_handlers() treats more efficiently the breaklines in the XML source. Even with XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE set to 1, xml_parse() uselessly calls xml_set_element_handler() for every breakline or white space placed between closing and opening tags. xslt_set_sax_handlers() doesn't. But xslt_set_sax_handlers is rather buggy on versions of PHP prior to 4.3 Here is a (very) stupid sample that applies strtoupper() on the content of every tag <auteur>, and then displays the resulting XML tree : $xml='<?xml version="1.0"?> <books> <book> <title>Mme Bovary</title> <author>Gustave Flaubert</author> </book> <book> <title>Mrs Dalloway</title> <author>Virginia Woolf</author> </book> </books>'; $xsl='<?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="html" encoding="ISO-8859-1" indent="no" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:for-each select="books/book"> <livre> <auteur><xsl:value-of select="author/text()"/></auteur> </livre> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>'; // Handlers : function start_document () { // start reading the document } function end_document () { // complete reading the document } function start_element($parser, $name, $data) { global $result,$tag; $result .= "<".$name.">"; $tag = $name; } function end_element ($parser, $name) { global $result; $result .= "</".$name.">"; } function characters($parser, $data) { global $result,$tag; if($tag=="auteur") $data=strtoupper($data); $result .= $data; } // Transformation : $xh = xslt_create(); $handlers = array("document" => array("start_document","end_document"), "element" => array("start_element","end_element"), "character" => "characters"); xslt_set_sax_handlers($xh, $handlers); xslt_process($xh,'arg:/_xml','arg:/_xsl',NULL, array("/_xml"=>$xml,"/_xsl"=>$xsl)); echo htmlentities($result); xslt_free($xh); -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xslt-set-sax-handlers.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+31687 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+31687 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+31687
