 New Comment:

After having lots and lots of problems with "encoding" error messages
from Sablotron in PHP 4.2.3, in total desperation I looked back at my
XSLT and XML files and started playing with them again. What I found
out is as follows:

Sablotron in PHP 4.2.X looks at the <?xml version="1.0" ... ?>
statement and if the statement contains any arguments, e.g.
standalone="no",  it always assumes that the argument is
"encoding=...", which is obviously a bug. So to make your PHP 4.2.X
working with XSLT, make sure that your XML and XSLT files do not rely
on the DTDs as you'd have to drop the  DOCTYPE statements as well
(which need the "standalone" statement in the XML declaration).

This means that all your XML files need to be validated outside the
Sablotron - but this will save you hours of work investigating silly
errors of the type "unknown encoding='no'" (or something similar
depending on what arguments you have included in your XML header).

This problem has now been fixed in PHP 4.3.X (at least in X >= 1).

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

this (not having xslt_set_encoding() available on windows because of
HAVE_SABLOT_SET_ENCODING not defined in xslt.dsp) finally got fixed -
see http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=20640 /
http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/php4/ext/xslt/xslt.dsp#rev1.3 . i had almost
lost hope ... nice.

please note: the php_xslt.dll mentioned in my previous post only works
with php-4.1.2 (or was it 4.1.1?) and the mentioned sablotron binaries
(sablot.dll etc) replacing the default ones!

@ [EMAIL PROTECTED]: if you want xslt_set_encoding() to work on
a php windows version of your choice, you have to get the mentioned
sablotron binaries and recompile the php_xslt.dll with
HAVE_SABLOT_SET_ENCODING set. get the php sources, open
php4\ext\xslt\xslt.dsw, add "HAVE_SABLOT_SET_ENCODING" to project
options > c/c++ > preprocessor definitions, and go. 

@ [EMAIL PROTECTED]: i dont think this is the same as #14965: that
one is about files not found, this one here is about
HAVE_SABLOT_SET_ENCODING not compiled into the dll.

@ the php developers / windows binaries packager: again - i would
highly recommend to include the
appropriate changes (sablotron dll's with encoding support;
HAVE_SABLOT_SET_ENCODING defined) into the next windows binary release.
this
error is really frustrating for windows users because most of them
dont
have the possibility to recompile php.

Same problem as #14965.

Same problem occurs with PHP 4.2.0 on Win2K.

Updating with the proposed dll by [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't fix it either. 
Neither does setting the encoding in the xml and/or the xslt file.

Sorry Sterling, but I'd say it definitely is a bug
