I tried to do some transformations using sablotron and
the PHP xslt functions.

After running into troubles from the first moment, I tried
some example scripts, but all of them won't work.

To get an idea of what i did i will post the xml-file content, the xsl-file content and the script...


THE XSL FILE
------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
  <body>
    <table border="2" bgcolor="yellow">
      <tr>
        <th>Title</th>
        <th>Artist</th>
      </tr>
      <xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd">
      <tr>
        <td><xsl:value-of select="title"/></td>
        <td><xsl:value-of select="artist"/></td>
      </tr>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </table>
  </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
------------------------------------------------------

THE XML FILE
------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<catalog>
  <cd>
    <title>Empire Burlesque</title>
    <artist>Bob Dylan</artist>
    <country>USA</country>
    <company>Columbia</company>
    <price>10.90</price>
    <year>1985</year>
  </cd>
</catalog>
------------------------------------------------------

THE SCRIP (taken from the php-online-documentation for
xslt_process())
------------------------------------------------------
<?
$xsl = implode('',file("xml/cedists/cedist_news.xsl"));
$xml = implode('',file("xml/cedefts/cedeft_news.xml"));
	
// $xml and $xsl contain the XML and XSL data
$arguments = array(
     '/_xml' => $xml,
     '/_xsl' => $xsl
);
// Allocate a new XSLT processor
$xh = xslt_create();
// Process the document
$result = xslt_process($xh, 'arg:/_xml', 'arg:/_xsl', NULL, $arguments); 
if ($result) {
    print "<pre>\n";
    print $result;
    print "</pre>\n";
}
else {
    print xslt_error($xh); 
    print xslt_errno($xh);
}
xslt_free($xh);
?>
------------------------------------------------------


THE PROBLEM
******************************************************

Running the script produces the following error:
"Only variables can be passed by reference"


So i tried the following:

...................................
$result = xslt_process($xh,$xml,$xsl,NULL,$output);
echo $output;
...................................

Running the script with this xslt_process line produces
the following error:

"Wrong parameter count for xslt_process()"



So i changed the thing again and again and again until i
got a call of xslt_process which worked:

...................................
$result = xslt_process($xsl,$xml,$output);
echo $output;
...................................

As you can see, i DO NOT pass the reference to the created processor ($xh), and i also did not pass the other stuff, and !! the ORDER OF $xsl and $xml WAS CHANGED.

This works! But why???

It even works, if i don't use xslt_create() function.
Why is that???

The whole xslt_ stuff seems to be a bit tricky...

This is not a bug. It is intended to work that way.

You are using the old ext/sablot and there xslt_process does not need a sablotron processor handle.

Please ask further questions on php-general.

when you say "does not need a handle" you wanna say "won't take one", right?
and... what version of php uses the new ext/sablot, if this is the old?
is the old version documented somewhere? could not find anything...

The new extension for xslt processing is called ext/xslt and was released first with PHP 4.1.0

You have to ask around if someone can send you an old version of the documentation or check it out via cvs.

And yes, xslt_process won't take a handle as an argument, but you already found that out.
