PHP Bug Type:     XSLT related
Bug description:  XSLTProcessor::transformToXml() doesn't accept DOM-manipulated 
XML-tree as XSL

Description:
------------
I tried loading a XML-document an a XSL-document into a XSLTProcessor for
retrieving a transformed XML.

It works fine as long both source documents come from a file.

Then i tried to modify the XSL-tree using DOM-dunctions resulting in the
following algorithm:
1. create XML-Document
2. load XML-document from file
3. create XSL-Document
4. load XSL-document from file
5. modify the XSL-tree // this is the new step
6. create the XSLTProcessor
7. import the XSL-Tree
8. retrieve the resulting XML-string

The resulting XML string is empty ("") then.

I compared the result XSL-Tree after step 5 with the file's content of the
working example - they were identical


I found a really ugly workaround:
inserting the following steps

5.1 render the XSL-tree to a XML-string
5.2 called loadXML() for the existing xsl-document, using the result of
step 5.1

solved the problem - which showed, that my tree was valid for use as XSL.

maybe i'm wrong, but documentation is rare. Hope there's another
solution.

btw: the xsl-extension is declared as experimental - is there a stable
version/equivalent available?

thanks in advance

(hope this issue wasn't mentioned elsewhere)

I found a code similar to mine, having the same problem. I'll post my own
if necessary.

Expected result:
----------------
XSLTProcessor::transformToXml() produces a valid result XML-String

Actual result:
--------------
XSLTProcessor::transformToXml() produces an empty string
