xslt transform with php 4.3.9

[Patrick]

Back again for another question. I have a form that I want to pass one
value to an xsl file to use when the xml is displayed. I have been told
that I have to pass the value to php and then do a transform using xlst
processor in php and have looked into this. I thought maybe I was on the
right track with this but apparently I am stuck with PHP version 4.3.9
which to the best of my knowledge doesn't have the xslt_create and
xslt_process functions available.

That being said, I've looked at what I have available to me and I have
found some stuff about dom/xml this and that which I am having trouble
figuring how to use it to do what I want. Can someone give me an idea of
how I am supposed to use php 4.3.9 this to pass a value and do a transform.

Thanks
Patrick

PHP 4 has this extension <http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xslt.phpto
provide XSLT support.

Hi Martin,

Yes I looked into that. It is my understanding that Sablotron and expat
are used with php4, but they are not supported in php 4.3.9. I did
download and run the rpm for Sablotron yesterday before reading
somewhere what I just said in the previous sentence. This is what I
think I am stuck with trying to use <http://us3.php.net/domxmlor am I
wrong? Unfortunately because we are on a maintenance contract here with
our RedHat Linux Enterprise 4 we can only use the supported version of
php that comes with the regular rpm updates. Otherwise I would request
that my admin upgrade to php5.

Thanks again,
Patrick
