XSLTProcessor: Do I need xml-stylesheet declaration?

[peridian]

Hi,

I am using the XSLTProcessor object. Even though I use importStyleshee t, does my XML still need to specify the xml-stylesheet declaration?

$xsl = new DOMDocument;
$xsl->load("myfile.xslt");

$xslt = new XSLTProcessor;
$xslt->importStylesheet($xsl);

I only ask because currently my code seems to be ignoring the XSLT and churning out plain text, and this is the only thing missing.

Regards,
Rob.

no. otherwise it may be that the UA/browser tries your already rendered (by PHP) XML to render once again.

Interesting. If my stylesheet is broken into multiple files (using imports) would I have to load each of them in turn into the processor? Does the processor handle internal references to other stylesheets?

I don’t have experience with multiple stylesheets, but I’d say a split stylesheet wouldn’t work (you’re explicitly loading the stylesheet … so I guess the stylesheet references ain’t resolved) on the other hand side, if you have a DTD, it is read from the given location.
