Hi,
I have an xml file and I have created its xsl file. This xsl files includes html format of this xml file. Now I am not getting understan how to show this html format from xsl file of the xml file in my php file.
The xsl file has some conditions, colors, tags and html format of this xml file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank
CRINCH
You include the xsl file inside the xml, then just request the XML file and the xsl (or xslt) will give the layout of it.
Here's an example that I created way back when I was thinking about moving from an HTML template to an xml+xsl stylesheet. Didn't go this route; but, it works (for the most part, some minor css issues).
XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="ilcpj.xsl"?>

<description><![CDATA[
<p>“Now it will be necessary to simply hold on, to light the fires of truth here and there, so that eventually the entire structure will collapse.” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, from prison, 1943</p>
<p>From Jeff Leys of VCNV:
<p>"Giving up on the legislative process is, indeed, the easy route to take. It is the route that ensures that the Iraq war will continue as a war without end.<br />
(See www.vcnv.org or Declaration of Peace for the entire article, which continues below, with background on the Congressional votes that could end the war.)</p>
<p>In early September, General Petraeus will report to Congress on the progress-or lack thereof-that is being made in Iraq. Shortly after, the House will vote on HR 2451 as an amendment to the Iraq - Afghanistan war supplemental spending bill. Next the House will vote on the final version of the $145 billion war supplemental for FY 2008, and send it to the Senate for consideration. It will be a one-two punch vote. It is entirely probable that the final version of the supplemental spending bill will not be publicly available until less than 24 hours prior to the vote (the final version of the supplemental passed in May was not publicly available until the morning of the vote)."</p>
<p>Throughout September antiwar activists will continue to occupy, lobby and rally at Congressional offices. Antiwar voices keep getting heard at Rahm Emanuel's door--again this Saturday. In Springfield a week of Declaration of Peace activities will inspire the rest of us. On September 21st Iraq Moratorium actions include a die-in at noon in Federal Plaza, and a rally later that afternoon at Representative Lipinski's, another war stalwart in Illinois.</p>
<p>Just Foreign Policy and ICPJ Resources have good numbers and facts with which to lobby. This website IS (part of the growing)choir--so consider inspiring the rest of us with stories from your action, and pictures. Light a fire...</p>

While Bpat's recommendation is probably the most efficient from the server-side perspective by offloading the XML-to-XHTML transformation to the browser, should you desire to actually server up XHTML to the client, you could use PHP's [man]XSLT[/man] extension to do the transforation on the server.
