How can I pass a particular value for storyid into the

story number 22222 for example???

I've looked at <xsl:variable> ...but these always seem
to be set to a defined value INSIDE the xsl document.

And I've never heard of being able to mix any other
language with xml or xsl like you can embed php
instructions within html.

So how do you pass an EXTERNAL value from a
link/form/php script INTO the xsl?
Use <xsl:param> element. If you define top level param you able to pass its initial value to the stylesheet. See http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt.html#top-level-variables
So, try smting like this:


<xsl:param name="storyid"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="//story[storyis=$storyid]"/>
</xsl:template>
