Saxon

I'm learning Saxon by building a simple RSS reader for NPR feeds. I've got the out-of-the-box RSS reader working but would like to make it more flexible by adding a GET variable to the URL that can pull NPR feeds by topic. Can PHP be used with Saxon? I'm getting this error: > Error on line 37 column 1 of rss.xq: > XPST0003: XQuery syntax error in #... > $topic = "books"; } ?> let $#: > Unexpected token "let" beyond end of > query Static error(s) in query Can you help me troubleshoot this? I think the problem is with this line -- let $news := doc() -- but I'm not too familiar with Java. Thanks, Saxon newbie - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - declare namespace saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/"; declare option saxon:output "indent=yes"; let $news := doc() let $dateTime := $news/rss/channel/lastBuildDate return
