if you have an appropriate XSL file, PHP can do the conversion for you.

[sachinshastri]

PHP 5 has its own XSL processing class, see its documentation.

[sachinshastri]

thanks
But i am not geting with OEBPS format

Thanks
Shastri

[Dormilich]

as I mentioned, you have to write an XSL file for that.

[sachinshastri]

ok but how xsl convert it into OEBPS format

[Dormilich]

that depends on what you have, see also this tutorial

see this link

i want to convert my xml into Open eBook Publication Structure Specification Version 1.2 it also a xml type coding

see i want to convert my xml into this format through php

The OEBPS/As You Like It.opf file:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE package PUBLIC "+//ISBN 0-9673008-1-9//DTD OEB 1.2 Package//EN" "http://openebook.org/dtds/oeb-1.2/oebpkg12.dtd"> <package unique-identifier="Package-ID"> <metadata> <dc-metadata xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.0" xmlns:oebpackage="http://openebook.org/namespaces/oeb-package/1.0"> <dc:Identifier id="Package-ID">ebook:guid-6B2DF0030656ED9D8</dc:Identifier> <dc:Title>As You Like It</dc:Title> <dc:Creator role="aut">William Shakespeare</dc:Creator> <dc:Identifier>0-7410-1455-6</dc:Identifier> <dc:Subject></dc:Subject> <dc:Type></dc:Type> <dc:Date event="publication">3/24/2000</dc:Date> <dc:Date event="copyright">1/1/9999</dc:Date> <dc:Identifier scheme="ISBN">0-7410-1455-6</dc:Identifier> <dc:Publisher>Project Gutenberg</dc:Publisher> <dc:Language></dc:Language> </dc-metadata> </metadata> <manifest> <item id="4915" href="book.html" media-type="text/x-oeb1-document"/> <item id="7184" href="images/cover.png" media-type="image/png" /> </manifest> <spine> <itemref idref="4915"/> </spine> </package>

[Dormilich]

and what is your XML? usually, you have to write xsl files yourself (some IDE’s may provide conversion of one known xml format into another known one)

[sachinshastri]

1) can we do conversion of xml to xsl by pragmatically in php ?

2) can we do conversion of XSL format to OEBPS format by pragmatically in php ?

Is these are possible or not ?

[Dormilich]

1) I think you misunderstand here. you do xml-to-xml conversion using xsl and php
2) Yes, if you feed PHP with an input xml and an input xsl

[sachinshastri]

thanks i got ur point
but can we do conversion of XSL format to OEBPS format by pragmatically in php ?

[Dormilich]

why do you want to convert xsl? didn’t you want to convert your xml file?

[sachinshastri]

yeah i want to convert my xml but how i can get OEBPS format.

according to u first i will convert my xml into xsl

[Dormilich]

@sachinshastri
I never said that. I said, you’d need an XSL file to do the conversion.

here is a part of my project, using xml conversion.
on line 17 I pass an xml file (name), read from the input object $inSeite_in, via a selfmade wrapper to PHP’s XSLTprocessor class.
on line 18 I do the same with the xsl file name
line 20 triggers the conversion and returns the result xml (in this case xhtml)

    protected function Transform(
        Seite $inSEITE_in, 
        $sy_par  = '', 
        $f_empty = XSLT_FORCE_RESULT
    ) 
    {
        # set parameter correctly
        $param = ($sy_par === '' and isset($this->ID)) ? $this->ID : $sy_par;
        $mp_param = ($inSEITE_in->PAR_NAME) ? $inSEITE_in->getValue('PAR_ARRAY', $param) : array();
 
        try 
        {    # load XSLT
            $inXSLT_process = XSLTransform::getInstance();
            # set parameter
            $inXSLT_process->emptyResult = (bool) $f_empty;
            # load files
            $inXSLT_process->loadXML($inSEITE_in->XML);
            $inXSLT_process->loadXSL($inSEITE_in->XSL);
            # processing
            $data = $inXSLT_process->Process($mp_param);
        }
        catch (ProcException $pe)
        {
            ErrorLog::add($pe, __CLASS__);
            trigger_error(500, E_USER_ERROR);
            return '<!-- Parser Error -->'; // ???
        }
        return $data;
    }

thanks for ur valuable support
i try with it but i am yet confused with OEBPS format.

Thanks

basicly you have to find out which xml element of your xml corresponds to which xml element of oebps xml.

[sachinshastri]

yeah i am not getting way to convert it into oebps format

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE package 
  PUBLIC "+//ISBN 0-9673008-1-9//DTD OEB 1.2 Package//EN"
  "http://openebook.org/dtds/oeb-1.2/oebpkg12.dtd">
<package>
   metadata
   manifest
   spine
   guide
</package>

[Dormilich]

that’s not correct.

you’ve written there text, instead of xml tags

<package> must have as children elements, in this order: <metadata>, <manifest>, and <spine>, and optionally may include <tours> and/or <guide>. The 'unique-identifier' attribute is required for <package> (see comment for <dc:Identifier>.)
