I created a page that is xml formatted with xsl, and have it looking the way that I want it to in IE6. Now I would like it to convert this page to various other formats...xhtml, pdf, etc. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished?

The following PHP code will do the conversion to XML

<?php
/* Load the two XML sources */
$xml = new DomDocument; // from /ext/dom
$xml->load('example.xml');

$xsl = new DomDocument;
$xsl->load('example.xsl');

/* Configure the transformer */
$proc = new xsltprocessor;
$proc->importStyleSheet($xsl); // attach the xsl rules
echo $proc->transformToXML($xml); // actual transformation
?>

But I am recieving an error:

Warning: domdocument() expects at least 1 parameter

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: load()

What is the missing parameter? I got the code of php.net, so it should be complete.

I have found that Apache Xalan will do these transformations, but I am unfamiliar with it. Does anyone have any wise words for me?

My Wyatts says the answer to the problem when he had it was to disable the domxml extension in his php.ini file. Am I able to do this?

I had been using PHP5 code....the following works for PHP 4.3. It creates a DOM XML document, applies the xslt stylesheet to transform the data, and then converts it to xhtml and outputs it to the browser.

<?php
$xmlpath = dirname("full_file_path") . "//";
$xmldoc = domxml_open_file( $xmlpath . "file.xml");
$xsldoc = domxml_xslt_stylesheet_file ( $xmlpath . "file.xsl");
$result = $xsldoc->process($xmldoc);
print $result->dump_mem();
?>

I still need to figure out how to output to a PDF file.

any luck with changing this ini file?
i think I am running into a similar prob.
new to xml and am trying to get my first example up.
let me know how you made out.

Alex,

Whether or not you can edit your php.ini file depends on your setup. My site is hosted on Surpass servers, so I couldn't make the necessary changes to use the features that I wanted. I just decided to wait until I was hosting my own site (which didn't happen as I had planned).
