match containing variable

csbdeady · October 24th, 2004, 07:20 PM

Hi

I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to re-write the following sample text from the PHP4 XML book (nb: there's no separate list for this book hence me posting here) so that it does not require a variable in the match.

Many thanks, have been completely stuck on this now for 4 hours :(

My objective is to delete an event based on an eventID (the example uses product and pid) whilst leaving the others in tact.

Several e-beers to whoever solves this one :)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="utf-8" />
<xsl:param name="pid" />
  <xsl:template match="/cart/products/product[@pid=$pid]">
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" />
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Untested:

Code:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:param name="pid"/>
  <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="product">
  
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="@pid = $pid"/>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:copy>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
        </xsl:copy>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
