ASP XSL to PHP XSL

[irate]

I am trying to convert an XML & XSL script from ASP to PHP.

I can get the XML and XSL to work fine, but for ASP i am using msxml to apply javascript functions.

Of course I cannot use that in PHP, so I was wondering if there is a way to do the same thing?

Here is the ASP:

<%
  dim url
      url = "file.xml"
  dim xmlhttp
  set xmlhttp = server.createObject("msxml2.serverXMLHttp")
      xmlhttp.open "GET", url, false
      xmlhttp.send()
      rspxml = xmlhttp.responseText
  set xmlhttp = nothing
  dim xmldoc
  set xmldoc = createObject("msxml2.DOMDocument")
      xmldoc.Async = false
      xmldoc.loadXML(rspxml)
  dim style
  set style = createObject("msxml2.DOMDocument")
      style.async = false
      style.load(server.mapPath("file.xsl"))
  dim outHtml
      outHtml = xmldoc.transformNode (style)
  set xmldoc = nothing
  set style = nothing
%>

and the XSL:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"[/URL] xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt">
 <msxsl:script language="JScript" implements-prefix="user">
  <![CDATA[
   function ChopURL(url)
    {
     var retstr, i, pos;
     retstr = unescape(url);
     pos = retstr.indexOf("://", 1);
     if(pos >= 0)
        retstr = retstr.substring(pos + 3, retstr.length);
     pos = retstr.indexOf("/", 1);
     if(pos >= 0)
        retstr = retstr.substring(0, pos);
        retstr = LeftStr(retstr, 50);
        return retstr;
    }
   ]]>
  </msxsl:script>
  <xsl:template match="/">
   <a>
    <xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="user:ChopURL(string(URL))"/></xsl:attribute>
   </a>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

and the PHP im using:

<?
  $xml = new DOMDocument;
  $xml->load('file.xml');
  $xsl = new DOMDocument;
  $xsl->load('file.xsl');
  $proc = new XSLTProcessor;
  $proc->importStyleSheet($xsl);
  echo $proc->transformToXML($xml);
?>

This doesnt work currently because of the msxml part, but if I take that out its does work.

I need a replacement for it that will work witht he PHP XSL.

Thanks in advance to any help

Try this :

http://www.karlblessing.com/-howto/xmltransform/

to put right here in quick code.

<? // Xml and XSL files 
$xml_file = "complex.xml"; 
$xsl_file = "complex.xsl"; 

// Allocate a new XSLT processor 
$xh = xslt_create();
$fileBase = 'file://' . getcwd () . '/';
xslt_set_base ( $xh, $fileBase );

// Process the document 
$result = xslt_process($xh, $xml_file, $xsl_file); 
if (!$result) { 
	// Something croaked. Show the error
	echo 'XSLT processing error: ' .xslt_error($xh) ; 
} else { 
	// Output the resulting HTML
	 echo $result; 
} 

// Destroy the XSLT processor 

xslt_free($xh);
?>

Oh also I would avoid platform-dependant things like msxml/xsl, just go straight standard XML/XSL.

Sorry, I think you miss-understood.

The PHP works, it gets the XML file and transforms it with the XSL fine, I know it has no error trapping or fancy bits; it’s just a simple script.

What I am looking for is a way to include JavaScript functions in the XSL as in my example XSL.

This works in ASP because it uses the MSXML namespace, but obviously I cannot use that in the XSL with PHP as the processor does not support it.

I was hoping someone could show me a way to use JavaScript functions in an XSL with PHP.

Thanks.

Maybe get your javascript external and throw in

<script type="text/javascript" src="xxx.js" />
