CXL. XSLT Functions
This PHP extension provides a processor independent API to XSLT
transformations. Currently this extension only supports the Sablotron
library from the Ginger Alliance. Support is planned for other
libraries, such as the Xalan library or the libxslt library.
XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) Transformations) is a
language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents.
It is a standard defined by The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Information about XSLT and related technologies can be
found at http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt.
Note:
This extension is different than the sablotron extension distributed with
versions of PHP prior to PHP 4.1, currently only the new XSLT extension in
PHP 4.1 is supported. If you need support for the old extension, please ask
your questions on the PHP mailing lists.
Note:
This extension has been moved to the PECL repository and is no longer bundled with
PHP as of PHP 5.0.0.
Note:
If you need xslt support with PHP 5 you can use the
XSL extension.
This extension uses Sablotron
and expat, which can both be
found at http://www.gingerall.com/. Binaries
are provided as well as source.
On Unix, run configure with the
--enable-xslt
--with-xslt-sablot
options. The Sablotron
library should be installed somewhere your compiler can find it.
Make sure you have the same libraries linked to the
Sablotron library as those, which are linked
with PHP. The configuration options:
--with-expat-dir=DIR
--with-iconv-dir=DIR
are there to help you specify them. When asking for support, always
mention these directives, and whether there are other versions of those
libraries installed on your system somewhere. Naturally, provide all the
version numbers.
| Caution |
Be sure your Sablot library is linked to -lstdc++ as
otherwise your configure will fail, or PHP will fail to run or load.
|
JavaScript E-XSLT support:
If you compiled Sablotron with JavaScript
support, you must specify the option:
--with-sablot-js=DIR.
Note to Win32 Users:
In order to enable this module on a Windows environment, you must copy
several files from the DLL folder of the PHP/Win32 binary package to the
SYSTEM32 folder of your windows machine. (Ex: C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 or
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32). For PHP <= 4.2.0 copy sablot.dll
and expat.dll to your SYSTEM32 folder. For
PHP >= 4.2.1 copy sablot.dll,
expat.dll and iconv.dll to your
SYSTEM32 folder.
This extension has no configuration directives defined in php.ini. This extension has no resource types defined.
The constants below are defined by this extension, and
will only be available when the extension has either
been compiled into PHP or dynamically loaded at runtime.
- XSLT_OPT_SILENT
(integer)
Drop all logging and error reporting. This is a generic option
for all backends that may be added in the future.
- XSLT_SABOPT_PARSE_PUBLIC_ENTITIES
(integer)
Tell Sablotron to parse public entities.
By default this has been turned off.
- XSLT_SABOPT_DISABLE_ADDING_META
(integer)
Do not add the meta tag "Content-Type" for HTML output.
The default is set during compilation of
Sablotron.
- XSLT_SABOPT_DISABLE_STRIPPING
(integer)
Suppress the whitespace stripping (on data files only).
- XSLT_SABOPT_IGNORE_DOC_NOT_FOUND
(integer)
Consider unresolved documents (the document() function) non-lethal.
- XSLT_SABOPT_FILES_TO_HANDLER
(integer)
- XSLT_ERR_UNSUPPORTED_SCHEME
(integer)
Error return code, for scheme handlers.

When installing on debian using apt/binaries, after installing php4-xslt and sablotron, you may have to add this line to /etc/php4/apache/php.ini :
extension=xslt.so

In regards to getting XSLT extensions (or any extension) working with PHP 5 on Windows.
Assuming you downloaded PHP and extracted it to the c:/php directory:
1) Move your PHP.INI file to the c:/php directory
PHP.INI isn't being picked up from the Windows system directory. I've read lots of people having problems with this so this should kill the probs once and for all. Validate with phpinfo.
2) All Windows extensions are in the C:/PHP/EXT directory. To get PHP to load these modify PHP.INI:
extension_dir = "c:/php/ext/"
No, you *don't* need to copy the DLLs into the Windows system directory. Avoid DLL hell!
3) Load the XSL extension:
extension=php_xsl.dll

I've spent the last day tracking down a weird problem with Sablotron and the 4.3.6 PHP extension on Mac OS 10.3, and thought maybe I could save someone else the same hassle.
I originally had a working installation and use the Sablotron XSLT extension for much of my site. Yesterday I tried to open a page and got a Sablotron error:
Cannot open file '????/path/to/xslt/file'
The question marks at the beginning weren't always question marks, but were always several gibberish characters. No matter what I tried I got this error. I looked into problems with text encodings (the only change being more interesting gibberish), reinstalled the OS, reinstalled PHP...nothing. Ultimately it looks like all directories on the path to the XSLT file must have read permissions for the Web server. My home directory didn't. As soon as I changed that, the problem went away.

It is possible to create the xslt extension as a shared object module statically linked with salbot and expat (I needed it for a project hosted in sourceforge where the sablot library is available).
Compile the module as usual:
cd ext/xslt
phpize
./configure --enable-module=so --enable-xslt=shared --with-xslt-sablot --with-expat
make
Then create a statically linked module:
gcc -Wl,-Bstatic -shared xslt.lo sablot.lo -o xslt.so /usr/local/lib/libsablot.a /usr/local/lib/libexpat.a --static-libgcc
change /usr/local/lib/libsablot.a and /usr/local/lib/libexpat.a according to the right path on your system.
You're done!
My xslt.so is 5.2M...

If you're wrangling with a plist in Mac OS X: here a bit of code to convert the plist into xml using xslt and then accessing it using simplexml.

I ended up banging my head against the virtual but very painful wall
made of wrong compilation planning, when I tried to install and use
Charlie's JavaScript engine with Sablotron and PHP on Apache1 server,
and I only returned onto the right road thanks to Petr Cimprich from
Ginger Alliance...
Forget Charlie's JS engine (I don't know about SpiderMonkey) w/ PHP in
case anyone is considering it!
More can be read on sablist, in our thread entitled misleadingly (by
what I planned to install when I started):
"Sablotron and Charlie with apache2 (and php4)"
(I ended up w/ Apache1 and w/o Charlie) at:

In win2k with all files ( data, programs ... ) encoded in UTF-8,
the header of the xml file MUST NOT contain something like :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
Do not put any header and you will not have the error:
Warning: Sablotron error on line 1: XML parser error 4: not well-formed (invalid token)

for those installing on windows, you need to follow this step
Windows configurations
The Win32 binaries available via the PHP site come with the Sablotron extension already built in. Therefore, upon downloading, installing, and configuring the most recent Win32 distribution, open up your php.ini file and uncomment the line:
;extension=php_sablot.dll
Uncommenting the line simply involves removing the semicolon.

As an update to the previous advice about the undefined references problem when installing PHP with Sablotron, PHP 4.3.4 has a new EXTRA_LDFLAGS_PROGRAM line added to the Makefile. Make sure to add -lstdc++ to this line as well as the EXTRA_LDFLAGS line.

If you are using Debian packages for PHP and Apache and XSLT, you will probably need to upgrade to the UNSTABLE package for PHP. The stable and testing versions of php are too far behind and using them with sablotron will cause apache to segfault.

Another way to get around the EXPAT-SABLOTRON problems (seg faults) is supposedly to recompile apache with:
--disable-rule=EXPAT

If you get problems with undefined references to gxx_s type stuff, UPDATE LIBTOOL! I found 1.4.1 worked for some configurations, 1.4.3 worked for almost none, but 1.5 worked for every combination of Sablotron/gettext/sybase/zlib/postgres --with options I tried.
Make sure you follow the advice of adding -lstdc++ to EXTRA_LD_FLAGS in Makefile after you've run ./configure, and BEFORE you've run make (if you issue make, you'll need to do a make clean before you make again, after changing the Makefile, or it still won't work reliably).
Cheers, Dave.

I would like to add that there is no problem to install PHP with Sablotron on a Gentoo Linux system (http://www.gentoo.org).
Just make sure you emerged the expat and sablotron packages like so:
emerge expat
emerge sablotron
After this, there should be no linking problem or whatsoever:
./configure --with-xslt --with-sablotron
make
and you should be set ;-)

I got into serious troubles using xslt transforming, while using PHP Build Version 4.2.2. It didn't find the module all the time, as well as it occured at several people, as I read above.
Just upgrade to PHP 4.3.1. All the required libraries are included with the distribution (you better use the manual setup, not the php installer). Follow the setup instructions, which are partly a bit chaotic, but should get you done within about five minutes.
Note: If you use your old php.ini, make sure, you quote out the php_ctype.dll, since it seems, to be built in since 4.3 (had several errors "redefinition of <function-name>" occuring when [re]starting apache).
If any libraries can not be found again, make sure the php4ts.dll resides in the same directory as php.exe or the php4<yourserver>.dll. Alse be sure to use php4apache2.dll, if you are running Apache Version 2.x. Also (lib)expat.dll and the rest of the above mentioned files should be able to be found (reside in a directory, that can be accessed through the path). I just checked and tested removing all files I moved to the system32 directory. You just need the files "expat.dll" and "sablot.dll" there. I removed "xmltok.dll", "xmlparse.dll" and "iconv.dll" again, and it still works fine.
You can find everything at http://www.xciteit.com/stuff/xml/.

In reply to Jaron, who needed to evaluate PHP code inside the stylesheet, look at a post I sent about xslt_set_scheme_handlers().
Scheme handlers are very useful, since they allow the XSLT engine and PHP to fully interact (they will communicate through XML strings).
With xslt_set_scheme_handlers(), you can give the XSLT engine an advanced access to the file system (or even to the other I/O interfaces), and perform various tasks (checking the existence of a file, creating new files "on the fly", deleting, etc...)
... all that in only one stylesheet :)

Compilation on RedHat 7.0 PHP-4.1.2-7.0.4.
Compilation failed when providing --enable-xslt --with-xslt-sablot --with-sablot-js.
Problem was that an additonal flag needed to be specified or the build would fail complaining that js-libs ... could not be found.
LIBS="-lttf -lpng -ljpeg -lz -lnsl -ljs"; export LIBS
The additional flag "-ljs" needed to be set.

INSTALLING PHP XSLT ON WINDOWS
Thanks to a wonderful program http://www.dependencywalker.com/ which lists dependecy heirachies for windows executables (and .dll files), I was able to track down the problem. What the PHP manual neglects to tell you (it only has instructions for Unix) is that you need to find sablot.dll, I suspect that php_xslt.dll is just a stub which calls this program. Now sablot also needs libexpat.dll (which I discovered thanks to dependency walker).
so anyone who wants to do PHP XSLT under windows, not only do you need to uncomment php_xslt.dll in the php.ini file, you need to find sablot.dll and libexpat.dll and stick em in your system32 diectory.

Compiling xslt into cgi version of PHP4.2.2 on linux 2.4.7:
Lots of work was needed. I had to download Mozilla's js-1.5rc4-2.i386.rpm and js-devel-1.5rc4-2.i386.rpm and the Sablotron library tarball, all from http://www.gingerall.com/charlie/ga/xml/d_related.xml. Applying patch http://download-2.gingerall.cz/download/sablot/Sablot-0.95-PHP.patch was nec (found by searching google with "SXPF_DISPOSE_VALUES", which make blamed for failing, claiming it had a duplicate value). Export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH="/usr/include/js/" was nec to get past a Sablotron make or configure error "required file jsapi.h not found". Then ./configure --enable-javascript; make; make install worked w/o errors. Then, for PHP 4.2.2 compilation:
$ ./configure --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql --enable-force-cgi-redirect --enable-xslt --with-xslt-sablot --with-sablot-js
followed by $ make and # make install. No errors. /usr/local/bin/php is the new cgi executable. $ php -v confirmed the version, and function phpinfo() confirmed xslt enabled. (Along the way I had tried the rpm version of Sablotron and compiling the CVS version of PHP when i got stuck, to no avail.)

gcc 3.0.3 and native linker
libtool (sunfreeware)
apache 1.3.24
php-4.2.1
sablotron-0.90
expat-1.95.2
When configuring Apache you might experience this error..
libsablot.so: undefined reference to `operator new[](unsigned)'
libsablot.so: undefined reference to `__cxa_call_unexpected'
libsablot.so: undefined reference to `vtable for __cxxabiv1::__si_class_type_info'

libsablot.so: undefined reference to `vtable for __cxxabiv1::__vmi_class_type_info'
libsablot.so: undefined reference to `operator new(unsigned)'
To cure it make sure that during the configure stage you feed configure LDFLAGS variable like so.
LDFLAGS=' -lstdc++' ./configure
Otherwise Apache's compiler sanity check will balk.

For those of you who are having problems installing php with Sablotron (I was one), here's what I did.
What I'm running:
-Apache 1.3.19
-PHP 4.1.1
-Linux
This is what I did:
1. Go to the web site previosly mentioned by darren@php4hosting.com,
http://phpfaq.info
2. Click the FAQ: "How do I install Sablotron with PHP? "
The only thing that needs to be done differently for PHP 4.1 and it's sub versions (ex. 4.1.1) is the options on the configure line.
Use --enable-xslt --with-xslt-sablot instead.

The XSLT functions may experience conflicts with Apache in some configurations, causing random segfaults in httpd. Apache has included a 'lite' version of expat in their recent distributions, which can cause conflicts with expat. Apache1.3.22 solves the problem by configuring itself to use the expat you have installed, instead of the built-in. If you compiled Apache before you installed expat, make sure you upgrade and/or recompile your Apache server with the same version of expat that PHP and Sablotron are using.

I extended the example of Daniel Unterberger even more. I had the problem to evaluate PHP code within my xml data files (e.g. to output database results) and after that apply a xsl stylesheet to the generated data.
When I tried Daniel's solution I found it quite useful but noticed that you can't "print out" from your PHP Code. You're bound to annoying return()-Statements, wich makes it impossible to loop outputs or concatenate strings and then return them. If you try to do so, you will notice that a statement like
...
<php:eval>
for($i=0; $i<10; $i++)
echo "This is number ".$i;
</php:eval>
...
will result in PHP to do the output right in the moment when the eval()-Statement is run.
Things do, at least, work fine if you keep it simple:
...
<php:eval>
return("Hello World!");
</php:eval>
...
I tried to fix that and came to a solution. The following code is just a snippet from my XSLT-class. The uppercase letters are constants defined in a header file. (e.g. define('PHP_EVAL_START_TAG', '<php:eval>');
...
function xmlString() {
$fd = fopen($this->xmlFileLocation, 'r');
$xmlString = fread($fd, filesize($this->xmlFileLocation));
fclose($fd);
if($this->contentType == DYNAMIC_CONTENT) {
while(!(strpos($xmlString, PHP_EVAL_START_TAG) === false)) {
$startPos = strpos($xmlString, PHP_EVAL_START_TAG);
$endPos = strpos($xmlString, PHP_EVAL_END_TAG);
ob_start();
eval(substr($xmlString, $startPos + strlen(PHP_EVAL_START_TAG), $endPos - $startPos - strlen(PHP_EVAL_START_TAG)));
$evaluatedString = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$xmlString =
substr($xmlString, 0, $startPos).$evaluatedString.substr($xmlString, $endPos + 11);
}
}
return($xmlString);
}

[Editor's note: moved this note here where it belongs - jmcastagnetto@php.net]
This shows how you can use the XSLT functions to add dynamic content to the result tree, i.e. how to hand over parameters to the XSL stylesheet and write to Sablotron's document buffer.
First we assign the value of the parameter to an array in PHP:
-----------------------------------------
$xslt_params["test"] = "Run-time parameter.";
-----------------------------------------
The parameter is envoced in XSL by
-----------------------------------------
<h1>Value of run-time parameter:</h1>
<b><xsl:value-of select="$test" /></b>
<hr/>
-----------------------------------------
Don't forget to define the parameter at the beginning of your stylesheet:
-----------------------------------------
<xsl:param name="test"/>
-----------------------------------------
How can we add dynamic content from a database to the XSLT output? In Sablotron, this is done using the document buffer function.
Retrieve a table's content, store it in a XML structure assigned to an array in PHP:
-----------------------------------------
$xslt_args["buffer1"] =
"
<TestBuffer>
<Message>
<Content>
This is message 1 of buffer 1.
</Content>
</Message>
<Message>
<Content>
This is message 2 of buffer 1.
</Content>
</Message>
</TestBuffer>
";
-----------------------------------------
This is how you add the buffer to the result tree in your XSL document:
-----------------------------------------
<h1>Dynamic content from document buffer 1:</h1>
<xsl:for-each select="document('arg:/buffer1')/TestBuffer/Message">
<b><xsl:value-of select="Content" /></b><br/>
</xsl:for-each>
<hr/>
-----------------------------------------
To get the whole thing running, following functions have to be executed:
-----------------------------------------
$processor = xslt_create();
xslt_run ($processor, "file://".$DOCUMENT_ROOT.$xsl_file, "file://".$DOCUMENT_ROOT.$xml_file, "arg:/_result", $xslt_params, $xslt_args);
$result = xslt_fetch_result ($processor);
echo $result;
-----------------------------------------
The complete XSL file looks like this:
-----------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" version="1.0" standalone="yes" indent="yes" />
<!-- define parameter -->
<xsl:param name="test"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<!-- run-time parameter -->
<h1>Value of run-time parameter:</h1>
<b><xsl:value-of select="$test" /></b>
<hr/>
<!-- dynamic content -->
<h1>Dynamic content from document buffer 1:</h1>
<xsl:for-each select="document('arg:/buffer1')/TestBuffer/Message">
<b><xsl:value-of select="Content" /></b><br/>
</xsl:for-each>
<hr/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

... addition to last message
sorry shanx (miss-spelled).
having a full example you must call it like in the shanx-example. Hint dont use echo inside of <php:eval> but return, because it is only string concatenation.

$xslt = new xsltTransform("life.xsl", "life.xml");
print ($xslt->applyTransformation());

I extended the example of shanks (very helpful for me tnx), so you can call php inside your xslt file, I had the problem to pass url-parameters and did not understand how to solve it, so I use php.
<code>
<?php

{
var $xsl_file;

</code>
in the xslt you can call it now with
...
<tag><php:eval> return $GLOBALS["filter"]; /* all php allowed */ </php:eval></tag>

hope this gives new inspiration

COMPILING AND INSTALLING SABLOTRON AND EXPAT FOR PHP ON A FREEBSD iServer
0) Prepare your virtual server environment. Telnet to your iserver and type:
mkdir -p ~/usr/local/apache/1.3/bin
ln /usr/bin/make ~/usr/bin/make
ln /usr/local/apache/1.3/bin/apxs ~/usr/local/apache/1.3/bin/apxs
ln /usr/local/apache/1.3/bin/httpd ~/usr/local/apache/1.3/bin/httpd
1) download the following files:
expat-1.95.tar.gz - http://expat.sourceforge.com
Sablot-0.52.tar.gz - http://www.gingerall.com
php4-latest.tar.gz - http://snaps.php.net
2) copy these files to ~/usr/local
3) expand all these files uing tar -xvzf
4) go into expat directory and type:
./configure --prefix=/usr/home/your_iserver_login_name/usr/local
make
make install
the files will be installed under ~/usr/local/lib and ~/usr/local/include
5) set the following environment variables:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/home/your_iserver_login_name/usr/local/lib
setenv LD_RUN_PATH /usr/home/your_iserver_login_name/usr/local/
setenv CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH /usr/home/your_iserver_login_name/usr/local/include
setenv LIBRARY_PATH /usr/home/your_iserver_login_name/usr/local/lib
6) go into the Sablotron directory and type:
./configure --prefix=/usr/home/your_iserver_login_name/usr/local
make
make install
7) go into the php directory and type:
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/1.3/bin/apxs \
--disable-debug \
--enable-trans-sid \
--enable-versioning \
--enable-ftp \
--with-mysql=/usr/home/your_iserver_login_name/usr/local/mysql \
--with-xml \
--enable-magic-quotes \
--enable-track-vars \
--enable-sablot-errors-descriptive \
--with-sablot=/usr/home/your_iserver_login_name/usr/local \
--with-expat=/usr/home/your_iserver_login_name/usr/local
then
make
and
make install
the final command - make install - should give an error about not being able to install pear.
This is normal, as pear tries to copy itself outside of your virtual server space. Since pear
is not an essential part of PHP - you can ignore this. (maybe there is a command for ./configure
in php that allows us to specify the directory in which pear will be installed?
8) final steps:
go to ~/usr/local/etc/httpd/conf
edit httpd.conf
comment out the LoadModule directive for the previous php .so module.
not that you should see the new module you just compile already inserted in the httpd.conf as
the last line of all LoadModule directives. (it should be called libphp4.so
now just go back to the command prompt after you have edited httpd.conf and type:
restart_apache
now go to your httpd document root (usually htdocs), and create a php file with the following
code in it:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
load the file in your browser, and you should see that everything has been installed properly :)
