I did that and I still had problems. I had to manually make the xmltok
shared object cose expat wouldn't build it normally.
About the
phpbuilder article, the function calls are now different from the ones in
the article (see above for latest).

OK, I'm including this info because several people have mailed me directly
to request it. It should me mentioned that in the end, I had someone else
end up building PHP for me. This is their explanation of what they had to
do (<hack>). No guarentees it's safe
okay!?!
<hack>
in expat top level directory is a
directory called lib i think it was..
in that dir (after it is
compileD) will be the sources for libexpat.so.xxx etc.
you may find
libexpat is the conglomeration of all the code from all of the
.c
files.. if this is the case you may get away with sym linking
libexpat to
libxmlparse which is the library it is going to complain
about after fixing
xmltok..
xmltok i believe only requires
the code from xmltok.c this is compiled (after
compilation of the
package) to a corresponding .o file.. ie xmltok.o
a shared object is a
dynamically linked library of functions.. a library is
comprised of
one or more object files (the .o files made from the compilation
of
the .c files) therefore you can create libxmltok.so from the one
object file (i
think it just needed the one..) xmltok.o with the
followign command as example..
ld -shared -o libxmltok.so
xmltok.o
obviously from the directory with the .c and .o files in
it..
(../expat.xx.xx/lib/) then you need to co[py this to somewghere
that the dynamic
linker can find it at run time.. alt ernatively set
your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable.. i suggest the former as it
will be running in an odd
environment from apache.. copy libxmltok.so
to /usr/local/lib/ for example..
libxmlparse.so can be created in
a similar way... however this requires more .o
files to be added to
it.. i believe it was all of them.. :/ which is odd.. means
you can
probably symlink libexpat.xx.xx to libxmlparse.so and will
probably
work.. try this first.. failing that..
ld -shared
-o libxmlparse.so *.o
i think it was all .o think there were
total of three in that dir... .
now test it extensively before
using in production.. there could be issues with
the above.. test test
test ...
</hack>

Apparently the xmltok library conflicts have been resolved in sablot .51,
the latest expat (not all that new), and PHP from CVS, available from
snaps.php.net.
Here is how I installed:
1. compile
sablot .51: ./configure, make, make install.
2. compile expat:
./configure, make, make install
3. both expat and sablot get put
into /usr/local/lib via make install (the RPMS of these packages do not
both get installed into /usr/local/lib). update your ld.so.conf file to
include /usr/local/lib. then run ldconfig.
5. configure php (from
snaps.php.net) with --with-expat=/usr/local/lib
--with-sablot=/usr/local/lib. this should now _finally_ reward you with a
libphp4.so after running make.

a very useful function of the sablotron extension that is not documented
here is "xslt_set_error_handler($function)" which is essential
for debugging your stylesheets.<br/>
the function you pass to
it goes something like "handle_xslt_error( $errno, $level, $fields
)". the interesting data is in the $fields array.

After having installed Sablot 0.51, expat 1.95.1 and libxml2-2.3.5 (in non
standard locations), I had to manually edit config_vars.mk in topsrcdir
and change -lxml to -lxml2 under EXTRA_LIBS.
Now it works
perfectly. (System is Debian 2.2 without libxml1 or libxml-dev
installed)
Did configure
with:
--with-dom=/usr/local/libxml
\
--with-sablot=/usr/local/sablotron
\
--with-expat=/usr/local/expat

forgot to add: you could have to change it
in:
Zend/Makefile
Zend/libZend.la
libphp4.la
too,
depending on what you are building (module or interpreter).

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 -
Sablot-0.52.tar.gz
-
php4-latest.tar.gz
-
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 :)

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
/**

#######################################################################
## file extended by Daniel Unterberger ([email protected])
## changes:
some php:eval's added
class xsltTransform
{
var
$xsl_file;
var $xml_file;
var $fileName;
/**
* Constructor to the xsl_transform ticket
*
* @param $xsl_file The XSLT file containing the transformation info
* @param $xml_file The XML file containing the actual data
*
@see readFile()
*/
function xsltTransform($xsl_file = '',
$xml_file = '')
{
$this->xsl_string =
$this->readFile($xsl_file,'php:eval');
$this->xml_string
= $this->readFile($xml_file);
}
/**
*

*/
function
readFile($fileName,$php_eval="")
{
// get
contents of a file into a string
$fd = fopen( $fileName,
"r" );
$content = fread( $fd, filesize( $fileName )
);
fclose( $fd );

$content=substr($content,0,$pos_start).
eval(
substr($content,$pos_start+10,$pos_end-$pos_start-10) ).
substr($content,$pos_end+11);
}
if
($GLOBALS["debug"]=="ON") print
"<xmp>$content</xmp>";
## see

life-server)
###################################################
## end
extension
return $content;
}
/**

function applyTransformation()
{
$this->result = '';
$this->msg =
xslt_process($this->xsl_string, $this->xml_string,
$this->result);
if(!$this->msg) print
("Transformation failed.");
return
$this->result;
}
// End of class, do not
remove
}
?>
</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

... 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.
<code>
<?php
## require
"xslt.inc.php";
$xslt = new
xsltTransform("life.xsl", "life.xml");
print
($xslt->applyTransformation());
?>

XSLT + SQL = BEST !!!
I've found good way to use xslt with
MySQL.
Remember ! This code would not work as is, it's to illustrate
technology.
1)you do : "select * from
mytable"
2)then
---------------------------------------
$fld1=$result->fields[0];
// you can do "for" here
:)
$fld_name1=$result->fieldname[0];// certainly fieldname function
must return field
name
$myxml.="<$fld_name1>$fld1</fld_name1>"
---------------------------------------
3)
write your xsl stylesheet to apply selected data.
4) Apply xsl to
$myxml :)
Work perfectly !!!
A lot of time saved :)

[Editor's note: moved this note here where it belongs -
[email protected]]
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
$result;
-----------------------------------------
The
complete XSL file looks like
this:
-----------------------------------------
<?xml
version="1.0"
encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html"
version="1.0" standalone="yes" indent="yes"
/>
<!-- define parameter -->
<xsl:param
name="test"/>
<xsl:template
match="/">
<!-- run-time parameter
-->
<h1>Value of run-time
parameter:</h1>
<b><xsl:value-of
select="$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>

In PHP 4.1.0 the Sablotron extension has been replaced by a more generic
extension. The configure command changed:
./configure
--enable-xslt --with-xslt-sablot
Look in the file
php4/ext/xslt/README.XSLT-BACKENDS for more information about acutally
using the extension :)

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);
}
...

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.

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 [email protected],
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.

Building Sablotron on Solaris with.
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

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.

I had quite a bit of trouble working out the steps to compiling xslt with
the newest versions of Apache, Sablotron, and PHP. For the benefit of
others here is the general process: compile expat 1.95.2-2, install expat,
compile iconv 2.0.4, install iconv, patch sablotron,
compile sablotron
0.95, install sablotron, compile apache 1.3.26,
install apache, patch
php, compile php, 4.2.1, install php, configure apache.
Sablotron
and PHP won't work unless you download and apply the two source patches
from Sablotron's download page. PHP will make Apache throw an error unless
you compile PHP with iconv support, even though it compiles without
error.
I hope this helps. :)

There's no need to rebuild Apache to link it against libstdc++. Just edit
the PHP Makefile and add -lstdc++ to LTLIBRARY_LDFLAGS.

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 .
Applying 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.)

INSTALLING PHP XSLT ON WINDOWS
Thanks to a wonderful program
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.

Regarding the `__gxx_personality_v0' problem described by
[email protected], you have to use LDFLAGS=-lstdc++ as well
before configuring php (and not apache) when compiling php as a shared
object.

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.

After strugling two days with php4.2.2, apache 1.2.30 & win2k trying to
get php_xslt.dll to work, it mysteriously started working after
I:
donwnloaded php4.2.3, put the files in c:\php
set
extension_dir =
in php.ini which is in c:\winnt,
of course
uncommented
;extension=php_xslt.dll,
copied everything from
c:\php\dlls and c:\php\extensions to c:\winnt\system32.
All of the
above is just as the documentation says, but my point is that doing the
same with php4.2.2 kept throwing "Unable to load dynamic
library...". Actually doing anything resulted in the same error
message appearing.
Good luck to anybody strugling with this, I don't
know where the problem comes from, this is just how it started working for
me.

For people getting 'failed to load php_xslt.dll' problems - here is my
solution:
I followed the instructions and copied '\dlls\expat.dll'
and '\dlls\sablot.dll' from my php installation directory to
'c:/windows/system32'. I also tried copying '\extensions\php_xslt.dll' to
'system32' as well.
After uncommenting 'extension=php_xslt.dll' in
php
I tried setting:
extension_dir =
"c:/phpdev/php/extensions"
and also
extension_dir
= "c:/windows/system32"
Like others I was getting the
'failed to load php_xslt.dll' problems. When I ran dependencywalker.com it
pointed out that iconv.dll (as mentioned earlier) and php4ts.dll could not
been found.
I therefore copied '\dlls\inconv.dll' and
'\sapi\php4ts.dll' from my php installation directory into
'c:\windows\system32. I restarted Apache/php and everthing then worked
fine.

For Win32 problems with XSLT processing error: cannot open file '<apache
dir>/apache/<xsl file>' errors:
In the documentation for
xslt_set_base it states:
'for As of 4.3, the default base URI is
the directory of the executing script'
However using 4.3, if I
execute:
$xsltHandle = xslt_create();
$html =
xslt_process($xsltHandle, 'test.xml', 'test.xsl');
XSLT processing
error: cannot open file 'c:/phpdev/apache/test.xsl'
My XSL file is
actually in the same directory as the php file which is
'c:\web\sites\xsltest'
So PHP is not looking for the script in the
same directory of the executing script but rather in the apache
directory!
I had to write a work around to fix this. Place the
following after the xslt_create() statement to get it to
work:
$path = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'];
$path =
substr($path,0,strrpos($path, '/')+1);
xslt_set_base($xsltHandle,
"file://".$path);

Hi
I've installed Apache 1.3.24 and PHP 4.3.0.0 on Windows XP
multiple times, and every time it took me quite a while to get the XSLT
functions (eg. the Sablotron extension) up and running.
I still haven't
found a clear way of fixing it the way I should, but what I've done this
last time fixed it pretty fast:
I took every DLL I could find in my PHP
folder and subfolders and copied them to every PHP folder and subfolders
and my WINDOWS and my WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folders.
So if you don't have a
clue what you've done wrong and you're willing to waste some harddisk
space, try this as a last resort :)

I've got past the 'failed to load php_xslt.dll' problem on IIS/PHP 4.3.0 as
CGI by copying expat.dll, sablot.dll and iconv.dll into the
/winnt/system32/ directory.
I've left the extension_dir option in
php.ini set as ./extensions which is the default value.

If you want to experiment with xslt-technology, try php-based application
xmlSiteMaker for site generation:

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 :)

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 .

I would like to add that there is no problem to install PHP with Sablotron
on a Gentoo Linux system ().
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 ;-)

For recent versions of PHP, XSLT install instructions for Windows and
Apache are here:
Cheers.
