This PHP extension provides a processor independent API to XSLT
transformations. Currently this extension only supports the Sablotron
library from the Ginger Alliance. Support is planned for other
libraries, such as the Xalan library or the libxslt library.
XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) Transformations) is a
language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents.
It is a standard defined by The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Information about XSLT and related technologies can be
found at http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt.
Note:
This extension is different than the sablotron extension distributed with
versions of PHP prior to PHP 4.1, currently only the new XSLT extension in
PHP 4.1 is supported. If you need support for the old extension, please ask
your questions on the PHP mailing lists.
Note:
This extension has been moved to the PECL repository and is no longer bundled with
PHP as of PHP 5.0.0.
Note:
If you need xslt support with PHP 5 you can use the
XSL extension.
This extension uses Sablotron
and expat, which can both be
found at http://www.gingerall.com/. Binaries
are provided as well as source.
On Unix, run configure with the
--enable-xslt
--with-xslt-sablot
options. The Sablotron
library should be installed somewhere your compiler can find it.
Make sure you have the same libraries linked to the
Sablotron library as those, which are linked
with PHP. The configuration options:
--with-expat-dir=DIR
--with-iconv-dir=DIR
are there to help you specify them. When asking for support, always
mention these directives, and whether there are other versions of those
libraries installed on your system somewhere. Naturally, provide all the
version numbers.
| Caution |
Be sure your Sablot library is linked to -lstdc++ as
otherwise your configure will fail, or PHP will fail to run or load.

JavaScript E-XSLT support:
If you compiled Sablotron with JavaScript
support, you must specify the option:
--with-sablot-js=DIR.
Note to Win32 Users:
In order to enable this module on a Windows environment, you must copy
several files from the DLL folder of the PHP/Win32 binary package to the
SYSTEM32 folder of your windows machine. (Ex: C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 or
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32). For PHP <= 4.2.0 copy sablot.dll
and expat.dll to your SYSTEM32 folder. For
PHP >= 4.2.1 copy sablot.dll,
expat.dll and iconv.dll to your
SYSTEM32 folder.
This extension has no configuration directives defined in php.ini.
This extension has no resource types defined.
The constants below are defined by this extension, and
will only be available when the extension has either
been compiled into PHP or dynamically loaded at runtime.
- XSLT_OPT_SILENT
(integer)
Drop all logging and error reporting. This is a generic option
for all backends that may be added in the future.
- XSLT_SABOPT_PARSE_PUBLIC_ENTITIES
(integer)
Tell Sablotron to parse public entities.
By default this has been turned off.
- XSLT_SABOPT_DISABLE_ADDING_META
(integer)
Do not add the meta tag "Content-Type" for HTML output.
The default is set during compilation of
Sablotron.
- XSLT_SABOPT_DISABLE_STRIPPING
(integer)
Suppress the whitespace stripping (on data files only).
- XSLT_SABOPT_IGNORE_DOC_NOT_FOUND
(integer)
Consider unresolved documents (the document() function) non-lethal.
- XSLT_SABOPT_FILES_TO_HANDLER
(integer)
- XSLT_ERR_UNSUPPORTED_SCHEME
(integer)
Error return code, for scheme handlers.
