I just started playing around with XSLT and PHP. However what I can’t figure out is, in normal template engine you would normally generate your HTML from at least two templates (the frame and the page content).
The “frame” would only contain the standard page layout

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
    <head>
    <!-- Stylesheets etc would go here -->
    </head>
    <body>
    <!-- Content would go here -->
    </body>
</html>

while the content would contain the actual data.

What would be the best way to realize that using PHP and XSLT?

    I do it like this:

    View.xsl

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

    <xsl:import href="layout.xsl"/>

    <xsl:template name="content">
        2. View Content
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:call-template name="layout"/>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

    Layout.xsl

    <xsl:template name="jscss"/>

<xsl:template name="layout">
    <html>
        <head>
            <title>layout.xsl</title>
        </head>
        <body>
            1. Layout Content
            <xsl:call-template name="content" />
            3. Layout Content
        </body>
    </html>
</xsl:template>

    Transform View.xsl and you get:

    1. Layout Content
2. View Content
3. Layout Content
