PHP XSLT Function xslt_process

PHP Version: PHP 4 >= 4.0.3

Description

This function performs a XSLT transformation.

Usage:

mixedxslt_process ( resource xh, string xmlcontainer, string xslcontainer [, string resultcontainer [, array arguments [, array parameters]]])

The xslt_process() function is the crux of the new XSLT extension. It allows you to perform an XSLT transformation using almost any type of input source - the containers. This is accomplished through the use of argument buffers -- a concept taken from the Sablotron XSLT processor (currently the only XSLT processor this extension supports). The input containers default to a filename 'containing' the document to be processed. The result container defaults to a filename for the transformed document. If the result container is not specified - i.e. NULL - than the result is returned.

Warning:

This function has changed its arguments, since version 4.0.6. Do NOT provide the actual XML or XSL content as 2nd and 3rd argument, as this will create a segmentation fault, in Sablotron versions up to and including 0.95.

Content of employee.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<employee>

     <employeename id="myId">test</employeename>

     <employeeaddress>test123</employeeaddress>

     <SSN>12343456</SSN>

     <company>XYZ Corporation</company>

</employee>

Content of employee.xsl:

<?xml version='1.0'?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">

<html>

<head><title>XSLT in PHP</title></head>

<body>

     <xsl:for-each select="//employee">

          <BR><B>Employee Name:<xsl:value-of select="employeename"/></B></BR>

          <BR><B>Employee Address:<xsl:value-of select="employeeaddress"/></B></BR>

          <BR><B>SSN:<xsl:value-of select="SSN"/></B></BR>

          <BR><B>Company:<xsl:value-of select="company"/></B></BR>

     </xsl:for-each>

</body>

</html>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

PHP Code:

<?php

//create a new XSLT processor

$xslt = xslt_create();

//initialize the name of xml file to be transformed

$xmlFile = "/xml_files/employee.xml";

//initialize the name of stylesheet to be used for transformation

$xslFile = "/xml_files/employee.xsl";

//set encoding type. This is not required but depends upon your application requirement

xslt_set_encoding($xslt, 'UTF-8');

// Process the document and store the result in a variable

$transformed =  xslt_process($xslt, $xmlFile, $xslFile, 'result.html');

if ($transformed) {

    echo "SUCCESS, employee.xml was transformed by sample.xsl into employee.html";

    echo "<pre>\n";

    readfile('employee.html');

    echo "</pre>\n";

} else {

    echo "Error Transforming employee.xml by applying employee.xsl into employee.html";

    echo "<BR>Error description " . xslt_error($xslt);

    echo "<BR>Error code  " . xslt_errno($xslt);

}

//free the xslt processor.

xslt_free($xslt);

?>

Output

Employee Name:test
Employee Address:test123
SSN:12343456
Company:XYZ Corporation

The above example produces a html file but sometimes especially for web development, it is required to print out the result directly into the web browser. So below example shows hot to use xslt_process() function to produce result as a variable.

// Process the document, returning the result into the $result variable

$result = xslt_process($xh, 'employee.xml', 'employee.xsl');

Now you can use $result to send the result to the client browser.
