例子二：通过Xalan 1.2，使用XSLT转换XML

做为第二个例子，我们使用了Xalan-java的XSLT引擎，这个引擎来自于APACHE的XML项目，使用这个程序，我们能够使用XSL转换XML源文件。这将极大的方便我们处理文档和进行内容管理。

开始之前，我们需要将xerces.jar 和 xalan.jar文件放入java.class.path目录下（这两个文件包含在Xalan-Java 1.2 中，可以从xml.apache.org处下载）。
PHP程序如下：
函数xslt_transform()以XML和XSL文件为参数，形式可为文件名（如:foo.xml）或URL（如：http://localhost/foo.xml）。

<?php

function xslt_transform($xml,$xsl) {

// Create a XSLTProcessorFactory object. XSLTProcessorfactory is a Java
// class which manufactures the processor for performing transformations.
$XSLTProcessorFactory = new java("org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTProcessorFactory");

// Use the XSLTProcessorFactory method getProcessor() to create a
// new XSLTProcessor object.
$XSLTProcessor = $XSLTProcessorFactory->getProcessor();

// Use XSLTInputSource objects to provide input to the XSLTProcessor
// process() method for transformation. Create objects for both the
// xml source as well as the XSL input source. Parameter of
// XSLTInputSource is (in this case) a 'system identifier' (URI) which
// can be an URL or filename. If the system identifier is an URL, it
// must be fully resolved.
$xmlID = new java("org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTInputSource", $xml);
$stylesheetID = new java("org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTInputSource", $xsl);

// Create a stringWriter object for the output.
$stringWriter = new java("java.io.StringWriter");

// Create a ResultTarget object for the output with the XSLTResultTarget
// class. Parameter of XSLTResultTarget is (in this case) a 'character
// stream', which is the stringWriter object.
$resultTarget = new java("org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTResultTarget", $stringWriter);

// Process input with the XSLTProcessors' method process(). This
// method uses the XSL stylesheet to transform the XML input, placing
// the result in the result target.
$XSLTProcessor->process($xmlID,$stylesheetID,$resultTarget);

// Use the stringWriters' method toString() to
// return the buffer's current value as a string to get the
// transformed result.
$result = $stringWriter->toString();
$stringWriter->close();
return($result);
}

?>

函数定义好后，我们就可以调用它了，在下面的例程中，变量$xml指向一个URL字符串，$xsl也是如此。这个例子将显示5个最新的phpbuilder.com文章标题。
