That's solves it. Thanks a lot :). I actually ended up using php-functions in xslt.

I have a very strange problem with type hinting of a String from a preg_match-function. It seems like whatever I do, the string does not get converted into a double properly, it just becomes 0. <b>Edit:</b> I have also tried using string functions to do the same(strpos,str_replace etc.) I also need to mention that the $xml-variable is from a XML file read with DOM. I don't know if that matters. PHP-code: <code> $xml = "<date>1136070000</date>"; preg_match("/<date>([0-9]*)<\/date>/",$xml,$matches); echo "String: " . $matches[0]; echo "<br />"; echo "Double: " . ((double) $matches[0]);          </code> Outputs: <code> String: 1136070000 Double: 0                                            </code> Any suggestions?
