RE: [xsl] XSLT arguments in PHP 5

["Buchcik, Kasimier" <k.buchcik@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The question was if you can hand over directly a tree of
nodes (e.g. a tree build via the PHP DOM API, or a parsed XML document),
or if this technique is bound to work only on the serialized form.

Rob Richards just clarified this on the xml@xxxxxxxxx list:
The custom stream-based wrappers can only hand over the serialized form.
If one wants to pass node trees (packed in a node set or result tree
fragment or sequence or whatever) to the transformation, one has
to use extension functions.
Quoting Rob:
"There are examples in the PHP manual for the registerPHPFunctions()
method that explictly demonstrate PHP returning nodes to an in progress
transformation."

Cheers,

Kasimier
