The problem I am having is in specifying an external DTD within an XSL file and having the PHP DSO parse it with the xslt_process function. The xslt_process seems to ignore the external DTD reference (as seen in the output from the output of the xslt_set_log function). If I was to add these entities into the XSL file rather then referring to an external DTD I would get the output I am looking for.

I do get the correct output from the same php script if I use the cgi version of PHP. Which aside from the --with-apxs directive to the configure script has the exact same options as the DSO.

Operating System: Solaris 2.6
     PHP Version: 4.1.2 (for both DSO and CGI)
  Apache Version: 1.3.9

Here is what I have for the two different configure scripts I use to build PHP

The following is what I use to perform a make after running either of the scripts above

-----make script for php-------
make clean

env LD_RUN_PATH=/www/lib make
-----make script for php-------

Below is the xml, xsl and php script I am using to produce the output

-------------test.xml-------------

  <helloWorld>
    <hello>Hello</hello>
    <world>World</world>

Could you test:
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet SYSTEM "file:///absolute/path/to/htmlent.dtd">

I don't recall whether this was fixed in the current release - but make sure this is the bug first.

If I recall correctly moving htmlent.dtd to on of apache/libexec or apache/bin also 'fixes' the issue.

[2002-06-05 10:27 UTC] william_moore at umanitoba dot ca

I tried specifying file:///absolute_path/htmlent.dtd as you suggested, however this did not make any difference. The PHP cgi was still able to correctly parse the XSL while the PHP DSO did not.

One thing I did notice was when I forgot to have the three slashes after file:. When I ran the script via the webserver the page was processed yet the PHP cgi had problems, specifically a Sablotron error indicating it could not find htmlent.dtd in the path I gave. It seems to me that with the PHP DSO it is ignoring the <!DOCTYPE ..> command.

Which is odd as the two should be using the same implementation of the XSLT processor right?

[2002-06-06 06:42 UTC] msopacua at idg dot nl

It should indeed - but they are rooted differently.

Could you list your sablotron version, so I can verify if it's fixed in the current release?

[2002-06-06 10:22 UTC] william_moore at umanitoba dot ca

The version of Sablotron I am using is 0.90, compiled via sources with the following configure script:

#!/bin/sh
env LIBRARY_PATH=/www/lib \
env CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/www/include \
  ./configure \
    --prefix=/www \
    --disable-javascript

[2002-10-03 13:24 UTC] msopacua@php.net

Does this apply with 4.3.0-dev?

[2002-10-03 13:50 UTC] william_moore at umanitoba dot ca

I have not tried with php 4.3.0-dev we are still using 4.1.2 and have not had a chance to udgrade to 4.2.3 yet.

[2002-10-03 14:40 UTC] msopacua@php.net

Well - 4.2.3 is the current maintenance release. If you have a testmachine available, please try it.

Also - when possible - try to rule out the DSO issue, by using a statically compiled apache.
Use --with-apache=/path_to/apache_source_tree.
Instructions are at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.php (example 3-4)

If the static module works (which you can also do with 4.1.2), then I would like to reclassify this as a Solaris Dynamic Loading problem.

Beware though, that you cannot 'switch' between DSO and static. You need to recompile apache both times and adjust LoadModule directives in httpd.conf.
