Re: param - default settings

Second, you don't provide default value to abs param, so unless you provide actual value by processor-specific API, abs param will hold empty string (because <xsl:param name="abs"/> is filly equivalent to
<xsl:param name="abs" select="''"/>) and expression $abs * 3 will evaluate to NaN (Not A Number).
Try <xsl:param name="abs" select="5"/>, for example.

Well I need these vars several times in the stylesheet ... for colspan's, or when ... apply statements.

Excuse me for being so boring, but where is your real problem? :)

<?PHP
global $xml_file;
global $xsl_file;
$xslt_params["abs"] = $HTTP_GET_VARS["abs"];
$xslt_params["rel"] = $HTTP_GET_VARS["rel"];

$processor = xslt_create();
xslt_run ($processor, $xsl_file, $xml_file, "arg:/_result", $xslt_params);
$result = xslt_fetch_result ($processor);
xslt_free ($processor);
echo $result;
?>

Start with:
... xslt_parser2.php?xml_file=report.xml&xsl_file=report.xsl&abs=1&rel=1
