Hi

You could parse the xml file with php xslt processor. The Xslt
Processor class has
a function called registerPHPFunction(). You can find it in the doc!
The you you
could do something like this

<xsl:foreach select="template/div">
// this line calls the php function
$this->divs[$cnt] = <xsl:value-of select="php:function(@func)"/>;
</xsl:foreach>

Maybe this is a solution of your problem
