RE: [PEAR-DEV] New XSLT class for PEAR

Hi Dan, I'm just finishing off a class that will perform XSLT processing using Java processors such as Saxon, for those like me who can't work around bugs in PHP's built-in support. It'd be great if we could sort out a common API, and maybe a factory to hide all of the alternatives behind. I've had a look at XML_XSLT_Wrapper, and it seems to be very comprehensive - but I'm not comfortable with how stateful it is. Objects that represent data should be stateful - not objects that perform actions :( Best regards, Stu -- > -----Original Message----- > From: Dan Kuykendall [mailto:dan@kuykendall.org] > Sent: 24 February 2003 16:12 > To: pear-dev@lists.php.net > Subject: [PEAR-DEV] New XSLT class for PEAR > > > I wrote another XSLT class that I hope can be included with PEAR. > > This class is a wrapper for PHP's XSLT support.
