In http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xslt-process.php the function description, paragraph 1 states:
"... it allows you to perform an XSLT transformation using almost any type of input source visa-vi the concept of argument buffers." The correct spelling is "vis-a-vis". I'm not certain the use of this term is entirely correct in meaning, though vis-a-vis is sometimes defined roughly as "having the same functions or characteristics of another". The meaning of the sentence is not clear (generally a bad thing for a manual entry), making that paragraph unclear. An alternate formulation (which additionally corrects the grammar of the second paragraph) might be: The xslt_process() function is the crux of the new XSLT extension. It allows you to perform an XSLT transformation using almost any type of input source. This is accomplished through the use of argument buffers -- a concept taken from the Sablotron XSLT processor (currently the only XSLT processor this extension supports). The simplest type of transformation with the xslt_process() function is the transformation of an XML file with an XSLT file, placing the result in a third file containing the new XML (or HTML) document. Doing this with sablotron is really quite easy... Of course, getting sablotron built in a non-default location is currently impossible (it did work in a previous version), but I'm going to pursue that matter elsewhere :-) Thanks, Rick -- Mostly useless pseudo-random number: 538 (58 F) http://www.roundeye.net
