I'd love to say that is possible however it's not.
function __toString() {
# Transform...
if (!$this->outXML) {
$XSlt = new xsltprocessor();
$XSlt->registerPHPFunctions();
$XSlt->importStyleSheet(DomDocument::load($this->style));
return $XSlt->transformToXML($this->Dom);
} else {
return $this->Dom->saveXML();
}
}
As you can see there is nothing that could make it jump out. very straight
forward and all cases handled via else.
The line: return $this->Dom->saveXML(); is somehow returning null.

Thank you for the advice on how to enable notices.
being I always include my Document script I just added
error_reporting(E_ALL); to the top.

Sadly I'm getting no Notices about my problem. Am getting 1 notice but nothing
of any interest
