I wonder why it doesn’t work when I download both xml file & xsl file from this sample. It show output but once i tried to click on either one link for sorting, it doesn’t work as what sample shown.

What is the problem? Do you miss out some line of the code??

@angie: I don’t think so, as it works fine in my example files when I run them on my machine.
Maybe you can post your platform and PHP version, including which parser you’re using?

Depending on which PHP version and platform you’re using it might be neccessary to include the “file://” protocol in the xml and xsl path in order to get it working:


//filepath on windows
$xml = 'file://' . str_replace("\", "/", getcwd()) . "/data.xml";
$xsl = 'file://' . str_replace("\", "/", getcwd()) . "/example.xsl";

//process the file and echo the result
echo xslt_process($my_xslt,$xml,$xsl,NULL,array(),$arguments);

I am interested in how you get the variables that are passed into the XSL. It seems you are somehow taking them from the URL. You have examples of PHP and JavaScript, but I do not understand how this code works with the XSL. How does your XSL know that it needs to use PHP or JavaScript?

Here is another question that I am interested in. How would this be done in JSP?

This page is very helpful. Thank you for the great information thus far.

Hi Mike. Usually the XSL is transfomed by a processor.
You pass the XML, the XSL and some optional arguments to this processor. In this case I just pass the whole GET collection.

Have a look in the function call for the transformation:


$arguments = $_GET;
xslt_process($my_xslt,$xml,$xsl,NULL,array(),$arguments);

You can do this in javascript, c# and in PHP very easily. I have no idea how such a thing would look exactly in JSP, but I assume it will be pretty much the same.

Thanks for the pointer. I guess I still need a little more clearing up.

Where would this code (that contains the function call for the transformation) go? If I use JavaScript in my XSL style sheet, would I need to create a function (with this code) inside the script tags and call it somewhere in the style sheet? Would it be better to keep the JavaScript in a separate file?

I appreciate your time and help! Maybe I’ll finally be able to figure this out.

Mike, please take some time and look at source of the example files. Then you shouldn’t have any problem to unscramble these questions yourself.

Mikkel:
You can find sablotron here.
It’s a server extension, so you will have to install it first.

In the tbody i am specifying this:
xsl:apply-templates

in the both the table there are 2 rows. Now in both the tables it is displaying 4 rows. In the tbody
xsl:call-template name=”onuVlanEntryRows”
is not working. Can you plaease help me out . I am not using sort. simple two table data display.

Thanks In advance

casey: Make sure you have an XSL processor in your PHP installation. Now, the example I wrote here years ago works with Sablotron, but there is a new, built in processor in PHP5. Check the manual for how to instanciate that one.
