Lucian, thank you very much for the insight you provided. I am still a littke confused. It looked to me like in php 4.x you needed the SablotronT library. But from what I can see with v5 beta4 you don't need it. At least the docs do not state it from what I saw. Maybe I am wrong. I just wanted to try and used standard php libraries instead of a 3rd party.
Are the instructions that you provided for v4 or v5 of php? I configured php v5 b4 using the following line: ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-xsl=/usr/lib/ -- with-libxml-dir=/usr/lib/ I am using libxml2 2.6.6 and libxslt 1.1.3 both of which reside in the location mentioned in the configure line above. Thanks again for you response I really appreciate it. I will give the DOM XSLT a try this weekend.
