A friend of mine needed to use the Kohana XML-module to create XML with a XSLT-stylesheet attatched to it. This is a quick example of how you could do that. There are several other ways, but this is pretty straight forward.
The following code should be placed inside a controller method:
// First we need a DOM document do begin with
$dom = new DomDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
// Format the output so we can read it more easily
$dom->formatOutput = true;
// This sets the used XSL stylesheet to "example.xsl"
$dom->appendChild($dom->createProcessingInstruction('xml-stylesheet', 'type="text/xsl" href="example.xsl"'));
// We need a root node in the XML
$xml_root = $dom->appendChild($dom->createElement('root'));
// This is the big XML data... database queries and other nice data should be in here
// Right now there is only a tiny bit of foo-node and bar-content
$someXmlContent = array('foo' => 'bar');
// Put the $someXmlContent inside the root-node
xml::toXML($someXmlContent, $xml_root);
// Write to screen
echo $dom->saveXML();
/** Produces
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="example.xsl"?>
<root>
<foo>bar</foo>
</root>
*/
// End of PHP code

New form rules
Important! All Kohana-related posts are now at http://kohana.lillem4n.se.
The module formrules is updated with two new methods: futureTimeStamp() and pastTimeStamp().
This can simply be passed in a form validation to check a string for both validation to strtotime() and so it is either in the future or in the past. Example:

Kohana modules hack
When adding modules to kohana, most oftenly you need to add that module to the config file to have it loaded. Now I find this mostly an unnecessary hassle. (Its useful when sharing module path between applications, though).
However, just comment out the module settings, replacing it with this code snippet:
That'll load all your modules automatically. :)

However, just comment out the module settings, replacing it with this code snippet:
$config['modules'] = array();
foreach (scandir(MODPATH) as $folder) {
if ($folder != '.' && $folder != '..') {
$config['modules'][] = MODPATH . $folder;
}
}
That'll load all your modules automatically. :)

Kohana extended form rules
Important! All Kohana-related posts are now at http://kohana.lillem4n.se.
New version available here, a post about this issue is located here.
This is a module with rules you'd like when validating forms in kohana. It is the same concept as the valid::-rules.
For example:
This will require "some_field" to be a digit (whole number) above zero.
For now, positive is actually the only rule in this module. So it is more like the foundation of a module. :) More rules will follow.

Kohana XML helper module
Important! All Kohana-related posts are now at http://kohana.lillem4n.se.
This module is actually just a helper (for now, at least). But it is very handy when working with converting various data to XML in PHP. A few examples:
Simple example of the two different return values.
As DOMDocument:
As DOMNode:
How the $container works:
will output:
will output:
That was just a few examples, full documentation is within the helper PHP-file. That includes passing SQL and getting it back as XML directly, working with attributes etc.
All feedback is very welcome!
