How can PHP developers handle XSLT 1.0 restrictions in their projects?

XSLT 1.0 has certain restrictions that can limit its functionality, such as the inability to perform complex operations like looping. PHP developers can handle these restrictions by using workarounds such as breaking down complex operations into simpler ones or upgrading to XSLT 2.0 if possible.

// Load the XML source and XSL stylesheet
$xml = new DOMDocument();
$xml->load('input.xml');

$xsl = new DOMDocument();
$xsl->load('stylesheet.xsl');

// Create a new XSLT processor
$proc = new XSLTProcessor();

// Import the XSL stylesheet
$proc->importStylesheet($xsl);

// Transform the XML using the XSL stylesheet
$result = $proc->transformToXML($xml);

// Output the transformed XML
echo $result;
