IE6 keeps displaying the XML source, not the data

[jbmorla]

Hi,
I just posted this in the php forum, I have the feeling that my error
is due to my Wamp 5 settings:

I'm a newbie in XML/XSLT trying to get some HTML output from a simple
XML source that starts with:


QUOTE:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="letter2text.xsl" version="1.0"?>

/QUOTE


I ran phpinfo();
Here is what I gathered:
QUOTE:
libxml
libXML support active
libXML Version 2.6.22
libXML streams enabled


SimpleXML
Simplexml support enabled
Revision $Revision: 1.151.2.10 $
Schema support enabled


xml
XML Support active
XML Namespace Support active
libxml2 Version 2.6.22


xmlreader
XMLReader enabled


xmlwriter
XMLWriter enabled


/QUOTE


The problem is that I keep seeing the XML source in IE6, not the
formatted data.


Your help much appreciated

The problem is that I keep seeing the XML source in IE6, not the
formatted data.

1. Make sure that Windows hasn't capitalized any of your filenames.

2. Make sure letter2test.xsl is in the same directory as your XML
file

3. Open the XML file using the file:// method, not as a disk file
(or maybe MSIE requires use of the http:// method, in which case
you'll have to upload XML and XSL to a server and retrieve them).

Browsers are notoriously bad at handling XML/XSL. This kind of stuff
is *much* better done server-side.

Hi,

I skipped a few chapters in the textbook
and tried an XML/PHP example,
it works fine.
Now I have a value in the equation,
I'll have to figure out why I can't get XSL to work.

Many thanks for your reply #
