Add to form.php
function xsl_error($parser, $code, $level, $errors)
    {
    echo "$parser [$code]: $level, <p>";
    var_dump($errors);
    }

and then remove:
xslt_set_error_handler("xslt_error");

$processor = xslt_create();

and instead add
$processor = xslt_create();
xslt_set_error_handler($processor, "xsl_error");

You'll want to comment out the xslt_set_error_handler after a while - it is 
really annoying output once everything is working :-)

What does utf-8 mean?  I copied it from another XSLT script that worked for 
me, but don't understand a thing about it!

And upgrading is even more of a problem... I've stuck so many dlls in so 
many different places that I haven't the faintest idea which are doing the 
work and which I should leave alone :-)   'spect it's easy on Linux is it?

Same here.  I'd love to rewrite my site using XSLT and phpcache or 
PearCache, but my free web hosting provider doesn't support Sablotron :-((

And just what I need for one of my scripts, if only it didn't rely on 
Sablotron being installed ;-)
