Hello all,

I doing a job for a client who needs RSS feeds imported to their page to help build content (they are feeds for news, weather, etc.).

On my server, I was successfully able to parse out the RSS feeds, create the XSLT to get that data out, and am able to display it on the page beautifully.

When I went to transfer all of the files off my server to the clients, the XSLT transformations do not show up. I get an error that says the following:

Quote:
MM_XSLTransform error.
The server could not perform the XSL transformation because an XSLT processor for PHP could not be found. Contact your server administrator and ask them to install an XSLT processor for PHP.


OK...before I go any further, I'm new at PHP programming. I know XML, XSLT, and some .NET stuff because I have to do a little bit of that at work, but my primary job, both at work and at home is graphic design and HTML/CSS coding.

Well, I ran <?php phpinfo() ?> on both my server and the clients and I noticed a big difference. On the client’s server, it was missing anything pertaining to DOMXML. My server has this, and I suspect this is why I'm able to do the XSLT with no problems.

I contacted my client with this, and he replied

Quote:
"Could you just link to the XSL areas from your server back to our server? We are having serious problems installing the XSL modules.


With my novice experience with PHP, Servers, and all of that, I'm not sure what to do or to say (other than to tell him to get a new server/host). A friend of my suggested something with httpRequest Object...but again, a little out of my league, plus I can't find any examples with PHP. Even still, this seems like a band-aid b/c the transformed files would have to live on my server, and I don't want that.

So, in essence, given the possibility that my client’s server cannot be changed or updated, how can I get this dynamic content over to their server?

One other thing, I have seen a script that allows for easy addition of RSS feeds to a site, but I need to be able to extract the information out more than what this provides (mainly because of how I use my CSS to style the content.)

Thoughts?

Dmitry,

Thanks alot for the reference.

I know this is a CSS-centered forum, but I did post this under "Server Side Scripting / Coding" of this very forum, as I think this pertains to that type of subject. Since I'm not a programmer, I didn't know where to go...what better place than to post on a site filled with people with simmilar backgrounds and experience. I will check out those two sites though. Thanks!
