Does PHP have an inbuilt XSLT Processor?

PrivatePile

Sorry for double-post

I have PHP version 4.2.1.

I have read that you need to add extensions sush as the Sabloton extension, if you want to use XSLT with php. I have also read that "For both Wndows and UNIX releases, the latest Sablotron extension is distributed with PHP 4.1.0 and higher"

Is this true, and does it mean that I don't need to worry about installing anything - I just go ahead and use it?

(Just want to make sure before I get started)

For clarification (and URLs info on things like where to get Sablotron and how to run it on Windows (though sablot.dll and php_xslt.dll are already bundled in the PHP distro)), see here.

Yeah, you gotta be quick of the mark if you wanna beat weedpacket to the answer. It seems so me like he's PHPBuilder's official Guru...... Especially in the coding forum.

Cheers Guys

Ps.

I'll try and find some harder questions that dont involve you turning me round and pointing me at the correct web site. All in good time (The PHP experience is still young for me).

Well, after much deliberation and reading of the php manual (and other texts/forums) I was lead to believe that the current version of php does have the necessary extensions in the distribution to enable me to use xslt.

So, why after having written and thoroughly checked a collection of simple xml, xsl and php files was i still getting an error saying that the function create_xslt() was undefined. Grrrrrr

Worry not for i found the solution by reading, and reading, oh and then reading again.

For anyone having a similar problem (judging by the number of user contributed notes in the manual, there are a few), you may be interested in this web site
