I am just posting what my fix to this mess was. I am using XP SP2, apache 2, and php > 4.2.

I was unable to get phpinfo() to show any proof that the xslt extension was working. I noticed that the php.ini location at the top just said C:\Windows\ and nothing else. So, I looked in my apache config and noticed that my PHPIniDir was pointing to /php, so to fix it, I changed it to C:/apache/php/php.ini And, like magic, it worked.

Yes , your page has proved to me a little helpfull.
as i am using Apache/2.0.59 (Win32) PHP/5.1.6 , and there is no php_xslt.dll file in the ext folder of php but i found on php site file named php_xsl.dll will be used for xslt purpose so i tried whatever you said using this file. while using phpinfo(); method it shows the xsl support but when i browse your sample pages they donot show any thing except fatal error of xslt_create() not found at line at.
please help me out as i am struggling to do my final year project and time is running out.
also please note my php folder is c:\php and for apache is c:\Apache2

Hello, I’m a developer with a managed server so I don’t know much about servers. We have a trade show coming up and need to run our site off of a laptop and your tutorial on setting up xslt/sablotron for windows saved me. Thanks,
Ryan

I’m using PHP Version 4.4.2 with IIS using ISAPI.

I got it all working in my windows xp machine but i copy it to my w2003 machine(s) , the xslt wont appear at all in the phpinfo!!!
xslt:
XSLT support enabled
Backend Sablotron
Sablotron Version 1.0

Also for some reason the Configuration File (php.ini) Path is C:\WINDOWS\php.ini inststead of C:\WINDOWS\system32\php.ini as it was in xp ?!?!

It’s reading the ini (now i put it c:\windows instead) because i’ve changed the highlight.bg as a test.. whenever i change it in the ini and restart iis this updates but the xslt just wont include.. im not sure why as all the settings are the same. [this was after failing to get it to work in either with php5 so scrapping that all and going back to 4 beause the app my client uses needs it] with that darned “Fatal error: Call to undefined function: xslt_create()” which i only worked out was an incompatibility issue with php 5 prob by coming here.. so cheers for getting me this far!!!

I’ve even tried having the copying the php4ts.dll in sys32 and windows to hedge my bets to no avail.

from http://qa.php.net/ and unzip
doesn’t seem to have any versions for windows -
I’ve found many versions of how to get xslt to work with windows - all slightly different but
doesn’t seem to work with PHP 5+
using sablot expat and placing the appropriate .dll files in the right places, making config changes see straight forward but all the doc i reads slightly contradicts and seems to be a year or 2 old.

Anu, I guess you meant PHP4, not Apache4. That’s the most common error people see when they have not followed install instructions that come with PHP.
