Greetings,
I apologize if this is a little long, but I am trying to put as much
information as I have done in this first post. I am running PHP 5 and
attempting to use DOM to create data to show on a webpage and using
XSLTProcessor with an XSLT sheet to output it into XHTML. Everything is
pretty fine an dandy until I wish to print raw text, such as xdebug and
var_dump.
My knowledge of DOM and XSLTProcessor is about a 5/10, such that I know
most basics, but not the more advanced things. Whenever I try to add
data using createTextNode, it is always escaped, such that if I do
<strong>something</strong>, when shown to the screen, it shows
<strong> etc...
Here is the general outline:
<?php
$doc=new DOMDocument("1.0");
$root=$doc->createElement("root");
$wantedCode=$doc->createTextNode("<strong>Something</strong>");
$root->appendChild($wantedCode);
$doc->appendChild($root);
$proc=new XSLTProcessor;
$proc->importStylesheet(DOMDocument::load("test.xslt"));
echo $proc->transformToXML($doc);
?>
SomeSheet is something like:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
The expected output that I would like to get is:
<strong>Something</strong>
(This would just bold my text, not literally see the <strong> tags).
The actual output is:
<strong>Something</strong>
(This outputs the <strong> tags to the end user, which is what I do not
want).
I checked the manual at:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.dom-domdocument-createtextnode.php
. A user comment suggested to use CDATA nodes, so I attempted to change
my code to the following:
<?php
$doc=new DOMDocument("1.0");
$root=$doc->createElement("root");
//note the change right here
$wantedCode=$doc->createCDATASection("<strong>Something</strong>");
$root->appendChild($wantedCode);
$doc->appendChild($root);
$proc=new XSLTProcessor;
$proc->importStylesheet(DOMDocument::load("test.xslt"));
echo $proc->transformToXML($doc);
?>
But this was of no success; it just had the same output.
Is there anyone that is able to help me out here?
Thanks,
Logan
Try using htmlspecialchars_decode before outputting your data:
