HTTP filtering with PHP & Apache ?

[joes]

Hello

I am looking for a full example how I can achieve an http output
filtering with php on an apache 2 server. I found some hints that the
apache server supports to isntall and conifugrate such filters
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod...ddoutputfilter
But I didn't found an example which is related to PHP.

I like to achieve for my shop using a template mechanism based on xml &
xsl with PHP. My idea is currently to use an output filter which does
the xsl transformation.
If anybody knows a tutorial or even some applicable frameworks in this
area please post me here the links.

Many thanks

I don't think what you have in mind is possible. The PHP Apache 2
filter executes code embedded in the output stream (with limitation).
It wasn't designed to let a script filter the output stream. You can
get around that through the use of an auto-prepend script and output
buffering. But why use a hack when there're more orthodox way of doing
things?

If you want to generate HTML output from XSL transformations using XML data
created from a PHP script then take a look at

Thanks all for your input.... I found more or less what I have looked
for. Rather than using an output filter I am using the call back
functions for the output buffer handling.

This simplifies the content rendering too, Also I hoped I could achieve
it with 0 inlcudes...)

or the xslt usage for php5

function parseOutput()
{

// php5
$xp = new XsltProcessor();
$doc = DOMDocument::loadXML(ob_get_contents());
$xp->importStyleSheet(DOMDocument::loadXML($this->getExampleXSL()));
return $xp->transformToXML($doc);

}
