use a php file as an XSL template

itaym02

Greetings.

I have an XML which I want to transform by XSL (client side). I wish the XSL to be a PHP file. I use header("Content-Type: text/xml xsl;");
But still, I get a network error loading style sheet.

Did anyone did this before, write XSL with PHP?

Yes and it works. I had to remove the

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

declaration at beginning of the XSL output though. The sample below is tested with Firefox 1.5, Explorer 6 and 7.

<?php
header("Content-type: text/xml xsl");
$t ='
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
	xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" 
	xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" 
	xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
	<link href="includes/rss.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
	<title>RSS</title>
</head>
<body>

<table class="content_width" align="center">
<tr>
	<td>
	<xsl:for-each select="rss/channel">
		<xsl:apply-templates select="item" />
	</xsl:for-each>
	</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="item">
<table>
<tr>
	<td class="title"><xsl:value-of select="title"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="desc"><xsl:value-of select="description"/></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
';
echo $t;
?>
