Question

I wonder If I can and how can I include code inside my XSLT template… I know I can use <xsl:choose> but that doesn’t satisfy my needs, I want to add functions, variables etc…

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:php="http://php.net/xsl"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> 

<xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>  

<xsl:template match="BackgroundReportPackage">

<!--- here i would like to add code like ---->

if ($dateofcharge < 7) {
return '

<xsl:for-each select="Charge">
            <table class="special2" cellpadding="0">
                <tr class="tr-border-bottom">
                    <td class="front-td-text" valign="top">Charge ID: </td>
                    <td class="minimalec">
                    <xsl:value-of select="ChargeId"/>           
                    </td>
                </tr>

                <tr class="tr-border-bottom">
                    <td class="front-td-text" valign="top">Charge Type Classification: </td>
                    <td class="minimalec">
                    <xsl:value-of select="ChargeTypeClassification"/>
                    </td>
                </tr>                   

            </table>

';          
} else {
 do nothing
 }

 <!--- keep in mind that this code i've added is just for presentational purposes TO show you, how i want to use php code --->

</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hope anyone can help!

There is no real reason why you would write a template like that when XSLT can do if blocks. What you can look into is

• XSLTProcessor::setParameter — Set value for a parameter

to change template values and

• XSLTProcessor::registerPHPFunctions — Enables the ability to use PHP functions as XSLT functions

to use PHP functions inside the template. This will probably make more sense.
