Sometimes you don't want to transform to a file, an XML string (because you're using text or html), or a DOMDocument.



To transform to standard output, you can use php://output



<?php

$proc->transformToURI($xml, 'php://output');

?>



To transform to a string (of HTML or text, instead of XML), you can use the above in conjunction with output buffering.

<?php

ob_start();

$proc->transformToURI($xml, 'php://output');

$outputString = ob_get_flush();

?>
