Applying XSL Automatically

[tjhorne]

I have XML files that are generated automatically by a software package and I have created XSL files to style these documents.

Is it possible to apply the XSL file without having to go in and put the reference in each XML file? I didn't know if this was possible with some sort of Processor? I'd like one I can just use on my PC since I don't have a webserver to work with.

Any ideas would be really helpful, thanks in advance!

You can certainly do this with PHP using code such as:

$parser = xslt_create();
$html = xslt_process($parser, $xmlfile, $xslfile);
xslt_free($parser);
echo $html;

Hope that helps.

Is there a way I can do this without a Webserver? It seems this PHP code would require a Webserver with MySQL running on it, correct?

I'm running PHP with Xitami locally on my PC, where would the XML files need to be placed for the metioned script above to work.

Also, in what file would I place this script? Thanks for all of your help!

Since I am on a PC I have found something that will process my xml files and automatically apply my .XSLT file.

It can be dowloaded from Microsofts Website at:

[microsoft.com...]

I created a batch file on my server that will run this process automatically, let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for all of your help.
