Subject: Parsing multiple XML documents as strings.
From: goformusic@gmail.com (Goformusic Support)

Hi,

We worked with Sablotron before but switched over to the libxslt
library on PHP5 to perform XSL transformations. We used the wrapper
code found on http://be.php.net/xsl so that our old xslt_ functions
continued to work.

Now, with Sablotron we used to parse multiple XML documents as strings
and one XSL file from disk. With libxslt it doesn't seem possible
parsing XML documents as strings.

This is the old method which worked fine, using Sablotron:

$args["/list_docu"] = "<content>some xml</content>";
$result = xslt_process($xh, 'arg:/_xml', 'arg:/_xsl', NULL, $args, $params);

This node could then be access with XSL:
<xsl:for-each select="document('arg:/list_docu')/content"> 

When I run this code using libxslt/PHP5 and the wrapper I get the error:
Warning: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "arg:/list_docu"

This is because the XML documents must be saved on disk I guess.
Isn't there any way to load the XML documents as strings???

Grtz,

Bart
