Does anybody here know anything about server-side XSLT with PHP? Brad?
I'm envisioning a scheme for my web site whereby I use a database and xml files for content (so I only have to update things once) and then transform the xml on the server to create various versions of the pages that meet the varying browser support out there (one that uses current JavaScript standards, one that works with older implementations, one that uses no scripting, and so on). I don't want to have to deal with browsers' varying xml parsing capabilities, which is why I want to transform the xml on the server and deliver simple xhtml to the browser.
I have found plenty of help for server-side xslt with ASP but hardly any about PHP (and the discussions I have found about PHP and XSLT are over my head at this point). I am guessing that PHP, or at least the kind of servers that would use only PHP, will not support the Microsoft XML parser. What is the open source equivalent? Is there more than one? If so, is there any easy way I can find out which one my host uses? (Hostrocket really sucks when it comes to documentation, so there's really no help there, although I'll try out their forums if nobody here can help.)
I suppose I'll interpret the deafening silence as, "I dunno."
