 hi, you do not need to do any intermediate (php) processing. an xsl template should be easy something like: define namespace hsn in <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:hsn="whatever your namespace is"> template for hsn:replace <xsl:template match="hsn:replace"> WHAT YOU WANT TO OUTPUT e.g. <xsl:element name="@name">?</xsl:element> </xsl:template> but what i do not yet understand is where the content of the to be created elements comes from: <hsn:replace with="tag">title</hsn:replace> should get <title>?</title> <hsn:foreach param="devices"> <tr><td><hsn:var name="devices"/></td></tr> </hsn:foreach> should get <tr><td>test1</td></tr> <tr><td>test2</td></tr> <tr><td>test3</td></tr> where does "test" come from? and you need somewhere the info how many devices there are, don't you? is there another config file for the missing infos or am i missing something... thanks chris -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Glenn MacGregor [mailto:gtm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 18.

I am writing a php report generation application that will take an xml file as input, substitute some real variables for placeholders and create the report. I was thinking of using xsl to help me with this task. Here is what I have so far: XML Config file: <html> <head><title>Test Title</title></head> <body><table><tr><td colspan="2"><hsn:replace with="tag">title</hsn:replace></td></tr> <hsn:foreach param="devices"> <tr><td><hsn:var name="devices"/></td></tr> </hsn:foreach> </body> </html> So in the html (xml) I have tow tags <hsn:replace> and <hsn:foreach>. The <hsn:replace> is used to replace the complete ("<hsn:replace with="tag">title</hsn:replace>") tag with the CDATA of the tag defined in the hsn:replace CDATA. So replace the complete hsn:replace tag with "Test Title". The <hsn:foreach> tag is used to iterate over a list of things(devices in this case) and substitute the current one in the CDATA of the hsn:foreach tag. So if there were 3 devices(test1,test2,test3) the output I would like would be: <tr><td>test1</td></tr> <tr><td>test2</td></tr> <tr><td>test3</td></tr> for that section. Do you think XSL could help me in any of these tasks? I assume I will have my php scripts write some intermediate output (xml) in which the hsn:* tags a changed to something more useful for XSL. Then run the intermediate file through the XSL processor w/ a stylesheet to get the final output. Is any of this possible? Thanks so much for your input!
