Here is a simple XSL output buffer class. Whenever you need to output something (to be later transformed) just call addXMLData(). When you are done adding your content, load a template then outputXSL() the data. If you need to output error messages while dubugging, just echo like normal. It will not interfere with the transformation. Just remember to maintain valid XML syntax to the data you add. If it is in an incorrect format, you will have problems. PS> Ignore loadTemplate(). Feel free to re-implement this as you see fit.
