note 23724 deleted from ref.domxml by sniper

Note Submitter: chiefgeek (at) ecodedesign.com ---- With the release of PHP 4.2.0 exslt integration in the domxml extension was added. This can be configured using ./configure --with-dom-exslt[=DIR] (and --with-dom-xslt) as can be seen in the changelog. The set of classes and methods that have been added are undocumented. After scouring the search engines I still came up with nothing...so I did a little digging on my own. This is what I have found so far. I'll just list new functions and classes then give some examples. There are 5 new functions added: (I don't know all the paremeters yet, but this is what i do know) FUNCTIONS: => domxml_xslt_version => domxml_xslt_stylesheet => domxml_xslt_stylesheet_doc => domxml_xslt_stylesheet_file => domxml_xslt_process Function explanations: => domxml_xslt_version() - Have a guess what this does. Hint it returns a string. => domxml_xslt_stylesheet - expects only 1 parameter, a string representation of an XSLT document. Returns an object of class XsltStylesheet => domxml_xslt_stylesheet_doc - not sure about this one yet, it takes just one parameter, an object. What kind? Beats me. => domxml_xslt_stylesheet_file - just 1 parameter, the filename (as a string) of an XSLT doc. Returns an object of class XsltStylesheet => domxml_xslt_process (?) still working on this one.. NEW CLASSES, as far as i can tell: Class Name: XsltStylesheet Methods: =>process => process - as far as I can tell this method takes in a DomDocument representation of an XML file and returns a translated DomDocument. Now for an example: (Assume person.xml is a properly fomatted XML document. Same goes for person.xsl.) <?php // Create a DOM representation of the xsl file $xsltdom = domxml_xslt_stylesheet_file("person.xsl"); // Create a DOM representation of the xml file $xmldom = domxml_open_file("person.xml"); //Now for the magic $result = $xsltdom->process($xmldom); // Finally dump the contents to the browser echo $result->html_dump_mem(); /** * Note $result is an object of class DomDocument and so many * methods can be used to modify and dump it to the browser. * * In actual fact $result is an XML representation of an HTML document */ ?>
