I understand that there was a significant change to the XSLT functions in PHP between 4.0.x and 4.1.x (you can check the SourceForge CVS changelog for the details, but I'm almost positive of it). That is really the only advice I have, since I know nothing about the inner workings of these extensions -- only that in my PHP 4.1.2 installation, everything seems to work (though I haven't done any advanced XSLT processing). Good luck Edward, sorry I can't be of better help. Oh, on second thought, maybe I can! I recorded every step I made in recompiling PHP with XSLT (as well as MySQL) on my RH 7.2 Linux box. If you or your ISP would like a copy of this document, I'll send it to you -- it details every step I made in setting up PHP with XSLT enabled, as well as my (easy) installation of expat and Sablotron (both of which are required for these XSLT functions). Good luck, and btw by annotations I meant the user-input at the bottom of every PHP man page. Erik Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.

Re: [PHP] XSLT parsing causes "passed by reference" error
Hello Erik, I have this hosted at my ISP. The phpinfo() shows that they have: Linux 2.4.3 PHP Version 4.0.4pl1 Sablotron XSLT support: enabled Which annotations are you refering to? The odd thing is that I have copied the code from two different examples from the web and both give me this same "only variables can be passed by reference" error. My ISP says that Sablotron is installed correctly but doesn't know why I am getting this error. I cannot find any reference to this error and Sablotron at www.deja.com or elsewhere on the net. Am I the only one that is getting this error? I can't wait to get this going. Thanks for the help.

I read through the annotated manual page for xslt_process(). Have you checked it out? It appears that this extension is still fairly experimental, so the way that the program behaves may differ depending on which version you're running. Which version of PHP are you using, for which OS? Did you compile using the --enable-xslt and --with-xslt-sablot configure parameters? Try some of the workarounds suggested in those annotations, specifically the one which suggests that xslt_process() doesn't like NULL arguments. It'll be ugly, but perhaps you can use implode() to read those files into a string, and get it to work by passing string references rather than filenames. If you really want to use filenames, try using an absolute path, try using ./ before the file names (assuming those files are in the same directory as the script itself). Finally, consider passing a joke array as the 5th and 6th arguments to the function. It may be that in your particular build you need to use workarounds. Be sure to post the results of your experimentation for the benefit of the rest of us. Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.
