Generate pages from XML based on ID's using PHP/XSL



I am building a small website that uses a catalog.xml for a list of objects. I also have menu.xml and footer.xml files.


I want to generate a separate page for each object from catalog.xml based on the object ID from page URL.


I was able to party achieve it using this code:



<?php
$goods = simplexml_load_file('catalog/catalog.xml');
if(isset($_GET['id'])) {
foreach($goods as $id => $item) {
if(!($item->attributes()->id == $_GET['id'])) {
  continue;
}

$xslt = new xsltProcessor;

$xsl = new domDocument;
$xsl->load('item.xsl');
$xslt->importStyleSheet($xsl);

$xml = new domDocument;
$xml->loadXML($item->asXML());

print $xslt->transformToXML($xml);
exit;
}
} else {
$xslt = new xsltProcessor;

$xsl = new domDocument;
$xsl->load('item.xsl');
$xslt->importStyleSheet($xsl);

$xml = new domDocument;
$xml->loadXML($items->asXML());

print $xslt->transformToXML($xml);
}

Example of catalog XML:

<goods>
    <item type="shampoo" id="0001">
    <title>Object name</title>
    <brand>Dodo</brand>
    <weight>226,6</weight>
    <country>Germany</country>
    <price>34</price>
    <description/> 
    <thumb>image.jpg</thumb>
    <photo></photo>
    </item>
</goods>


The only problem is that menu.xml and footer.xml are not icluded here.


I have item.xml file that I'd like to use for generating the object page:



<page>
    <head><header href="head.xml"/></head>
    <content><catalog href="catalog/catalog.xml"/></content>
    <foot><footer href="footer.xml"/></foot>
</page>


What is the best way to accomplish that?
