On a PHP 4 project, I need to use XSLT, but the interfaces seem far more complicated than they should be. Check out this declaration for the function to run an XSLT:<\/p>\n
mixed xslt_process<\/strong> ( resource xh, string xmlcontainer, string xslcontainer [, string resultcontainer [, array arguments [, array parameters]]] )<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Wow, it returns a “mixed”, that’s some helpful documentation worth looking up. And all I have to do is pass in an “xmlcontainer” and “xslcontainer”. In practice, you end up with hard-to-read code like this:<\/p>\n
$arguments = array('\/_xml' => $xml, '\/_xsl' => $xsl);
\n$xslproc = $xslt_create();
\n$result = xslt_process($xslproc, 'arg:\/_xml', 'arg:\/_xsl', NULL, $arguments);<\/code><\/p><\/blockquote>\nToo bad I have already-parsed objects. And then there’s this:<\/p>\n
Warning<\/strong>: As of PHP 4.0.6, this function no longer takes XML strings in xmlcontainer<\/var> or xslcontainer<\/var>. Passing a string containing XML to either of these parameters will result in a segmentation fault in Sablotron versions up to and including version 0.95.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Whatever. In fairness, this falls mainly to the XSLT engine and not the language and the PHP 5 interfaces are much different and much improved. But still.. -m<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
