alright...i hooked it up, and here's what came out:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: xslt_create() in /home/.../php/weather.php on line 3'

i checked with my hosting provider (SarviHosting...wonderful job I must say), and i do have XML/XSL support. what happened?

Kyle, you need to be more specific -- is an element in many of the elements.

Current conditions () or Daily Forecast ()? I'm assuming

Page 15 indicates you need to include and at a minimum for . (section 8.5)

ANYWAY.

To write the XSLT:

<?php
// this is a subset of what you get from weather.com called weather.xml
xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" 
<weather>
    <loc id=\"30066\">
        <dnam>Marietta, GA (30066)</dnam>
    </loc> 
    <cc> 
        <lsup>3/5/03 9:50 AM EST</lsup>
        <obst>Kennesaw, GA</obst> 
        <tmp>55</tmp>
        <t>Haze</t>
        <icon>21</icon>
     </cc>
</weather> 

// this is your xsl stylesheet, called weather.xsl
xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" 
<xsl:stylesheet version=\"1.0\" 
    xmlns:xsl=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform\"> 

    <xsl:output method=\"html\"/> 

    <xsl:template match=\"weather\"> 
        <div id=\"weather\"> 
        <div id=\"weathericon\"><xsl:value-of select=\"cc/icon\"></div>
        <p><xsl:value-of select=\"loc/dnam\"/> - <xsl:value-of select=\"cc/lsup\"/></p> 
        <p><xsl:value-of select=\"cc/tmp\"/></p>
        <p><xsl:value-of select=\"cc/t\"/></p>
        </div>
    </xsl:template> 

</xsl:stylesheet> 

// this is your php program that makes it work
 
    // Create an XSLT processor 
    $xsltproc = xslt_create(); 

    // Perform the transformation 
    $html = xslt_process($xsltproc, 'weather.xml', 'weather.xsl'); 

    // Detect errors 
    if (!$html) die('XSLT processing error: '.xslt_error($xsltproc)); 

    // Destroy the XSLT processor 
    xslt_free($xsltproc); 

    // Output the resulting HTML 
    echo $html; 
    // you may want to write it to a file instead, that's then included on your page.
 
?>

i don't know why that all didn't show up, and i cant get it to...just download the PDF, goto page 10 at http://westernciv.sarvihosting.com/guide.pdf

how i would like it:

<p><dnam>-&nbsp;&nbsp;<lsup><br /></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<tmp></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<t></P>

stuff like that

What format do you want it in?!

For example:

Where is the weather information? I see latitude, longitude, sunrise, sunset and zone. No temperature or weather forcast? That's the information that would be needed to set up the XSL to translate the XML to XHTML.
