Yes, XSL is definitely supported. Your problem is that allow_url_fopen
is turned off. This prevents the XSL Transformation server behavior from
accessing the RSS feed. Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about
this unless you can persuade your hosting company to turn
allow_url_fopen on. The good news is that your server uses PHP 5.2.3,
which has the following separate directives and settings:

allow_url_fopen Off
allow_url_include Off

Hosting companies typically turn off allow_url_fopen to prevent sites
from including material from other servers, which can be a security
risk. In PHP 5.2, allow_url_fopen no longer allows files to be included
directly into a script. The new directive allow_url_include now controls
remote includes.

What you need to persuade your hosting company is to use these settings:

allow_url_fopen On
allow_url_include Off

This would allow you to pass RSS feeds to the XSL Transformation server
behavior, but prevent the security risk of including a remote file
directly inside your script. However, it might be difficult to persuade
a support person to alter the company's policy, even though this change
is designed to make PHP much safer to use.

If you can't get the hosting company to change its policy, submit a
feature request to Adobe, asking them to improve the server behavior so
that it uses a socket connection or cURL.

Socket or cURL connections get around the problem of allow_url_fopen
being turned off, but they're not supported by the XSL Transformation
server behavior.

I have copied your code, and had no difficulty embedding it with the XSL
Transformation server behavior into an ordinary PHP page.

Are you using Dreamweaver 8? If so, have you installed the PHP updater
for Dreamweaver 8.0.2? First you need to make sure your program is
updated to DW 8.0.2. Then you install the PHP hotfix extension.

Without seeing your XSL code, it's impossible to say.

There are two types of XSLT page that you can create in Dreamweaver. An
XSLT (Entire page) file is precisely that - it's self contained. To
embed XSLT in a PHP page, you need to use an XSLT Fragment. Go to File >
New, and select XSLT Fragment from the New Document dialog.
