XML and XSL

[breham]

Hi,

I have a webpage that searches a database which sends a reply back as an XML document. The XML Document is then saved as a variable ($page). This part I have no control of.

I would like to display the XML data using an XSL but don't understand how to tell the XML document about the XSL.

Any ideas gratefully received.

The easiest way is to add a processing instruction as the second line of the xml document.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="mystylesheet.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>

The href attribute points to where you have your XSL stylesheet stored. You also have the option of using a cascading stylesheet instead.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="mystylesheet.css" type="text/css"?>

Thanks Syber,

That's what I'd like to do but am unable to as the xml document comes back in $page variable.

Are there any other options that you know of?

Thanks again

Well, if you really believe that you can't change it then there's not much you can do.

You'd be much better off asking your question in the PHP forums.

Thanks for your help mister I'll take a look in the PHP forum.
