Hi, I have seen that in php5.0/ext/xslt directory does not have any source except the test scripts whereas in php-4.3.8 I could find the files. In php5.0 there is one extra directory under ext by name xsl which does not exist in PHP4.3.8 Why is this change? Can someone clarify me on this? With regards Kamesh Jayachandran

ext/xslt is based on sablotron ext/xsl is based on libxslt and the new libxml2 support in PHP 5.0 The API is incompatible, so we made an extension with a new name. The inner workings are also quite different. It seems that noone ported ext/xslt (the sablotron one) to PHP 5 until now. And it's in PECL now. chregu

it wasn't ported because i don't want people using it anymore, they should be using ext/xsl, period. -sterling On Fri, 16 Jul 2004 11:18:46 +0200, Christian Stocker <chregu@bitflux.ch> wrote:

I didn't blame you and there are good reasons to not to port it. But for BC, maybe someone will do it anyway... OTOH the switch to ext/xsl isn't that hard and you gain a lot of speed improvements ;) chregu

I think the only difficulties you'd run into is if you were using all sorts of custom scheme handlers. Then you'd need to port those. -adam
