Discussed earlier on bugs.php.net i found the code below, which is said to work. Running the script in command line mode I get - always - the same error:

C:\www\www-xml>php -f test.php

Warning: Sablotron error on line 1: XML parser error 3: no element found in test.php on line 23

Line 23 is the line with $xh = xslt_create();.

The same problem here.

Code which works very fine under 4.2 just spits out:

Warning: Sablotron error on line 1: XML parser error 3: no element found in xslt.php on line 62

BC-break? or a real bug?

Changed title

Somehow two different bugs got into here... Let's name it after the real bug... (or should i open a new one)

this isn't critical.

This should be fixed now as the related files were reverted
back to the 4.2.1 level.

[PHP 4.2.2, Windows XP]
Here are my findings with the same bugs:

The documentation on xslt_set_base () states that you must provide an file:// prefix with setting the base. It seems that you should provide the same prefix when passing files to xslt_process ().

The following works fine with me, using the "Very important" example from above with local xml and xslt files, named 'sample.xml' and 'sample.xsl' respectively:

<?php
# create XSLT processor
$xsltProcessor = xslt_create ();

# generate filebase from working directory
$fileBase      = 'file://' . getcwd () . '/';

# process the 'sample.xml' and 'sample.xsl' files
$result        = xslt_process (
   $xsltProcessor,
   $fileBase . 'sample.xml',
   $fileBase . 'sample.xsl'
);

# print the result
if ( $result ) {
   echo 'Success ...';
   echo '<pre>', "\n";
   echo htmlentities ( $result );
   echo '</pre>';
} else {
   echo 'Fail due to error: ' . xslt_error($xh);
}

# free the processor resource
xslt_free ( $xsltProcessor );
?>

Alternatively, you can use the xslt_set_base function to provide the processor with an explicit working directory:
<?php
# create XSLT processor
$xsltProcessor = xslt_create ();

# generate filebase from working directory
$fileBase      = 'file://' . getcwd () . '/';

# point xslt process base to working directory
xslt_set_base ( $xsltProcessor, $fileBase );

# process the 'sample.xml' and 'sample.xsl' files
$result        = xslt_process (
   $xsltProcessor,
   'sample.xml',
   'sample.xsl'
);

# print the result
if ( $result ) {
   echo 'Success ...';
   echo '<pre>', "\n";
   echo htmlentities ( $result );
   echo '</pre>';
} else {
   echo 'Fail due to error: ' . xslt_error($xh);
}

# free the processor resource
xslt_free ( $xsltProcessor );
?>

Hope some people will profit from this, at least i found a working solution :)

Ok well I am getting something like this with the following code, and I'm running Redhat9 with PHP 4.3.4.  My error message is
Warning: Sablotron error on line 1: XML parser error 3: no element found in /home/httpd/vhosts/noctambus.com/httpdocs/reviews/xml/standardbrowser.php on line 85

My code is:

   /* transform method */ 

   function transform() { 

       $arguments = array(
           '/_xml' => $this->xml,
           '/_xsl' => $this->xsl
       );

       $this->setOutput( 
       xslt_process($this->processor, 'arg:/_xml', 'arg:/_xsl', NULL,
$arguments)
       );

      $this->setError($err); 
   } 


Can someone suggest a workaround?
Thanks!

Hello everybody!

I think I have found a way to solve this Error 'XML parser error 4: not well-formed (invalid token)'.

Test this method.



	function XSL_transformation($XMLFile,$XSLFile,$ResultFile,$xsl_params){
	
		$Str = '';

		$xp = xslt_create() or trigger_error('Could not create XSLT process.', E_USER_ERROR);

		xslt_set_encoding($xp, 'ISO-8859-1');

		// read the files into memory
		$xsl_string = join('', file($XSLFile));
		$xml_string = join('', file($XMLFile));

		// set the argument buffer
		$arg_buffer = array('/xml' => $xml_string, '/xsl' => $xsl_string);

		// process the two files to get the desired output
		if (($Str = xslt_process($xp, 'arg:/xml', 'arg:/xsl', NULL, $arg_buffer, $xsl_params))){

			//Saves transformation result into '$ResultFile'
			$fp = fopen($ResultFile,"w+"); 
			fwrite($fp,$Str); 
			fclose($fp);
			
			return true;
		}
		
		return false;

	}
