xslt_process

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.3)

xslt_process -- Transform XML data through a string containing XSL data

Description

bool xslt_process (string xsl_data string xml_data string result)

The xslt_process() takes a string containing the XSLT stylesheet as its first argument, it takes a second string containing the XML data you want to transform and then a third string containing the results of the transformation. xslt_process() will return true on success and false on failure, to get the error number and error string if an error occurs use the xslt_errno() and xslt_error() functions.

Example 1. Using the xslt_process() to transform three strings
