Freshmeat provides a search facility which returns matches in XML. Here we write an XSL Transformation to transform the XML data into HTML.

http://freshmeat.net/search-xml/?q=php&filter=183

The resulting XML looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE search-results SYSTEM "http://freshmeat.net/backend/fm-search-0.1.dtd">
<search-results>
  <match>
    <match_count>1</match_count>
    <project_id>138</project_id>
    <date_added>2000-02-01 01:26:10</date_added>
    <date_updated>2001-01-30 21:41:22</date_updated>
    <projectname_short>aeromail</projectname_short>
    <projectname_full>AeroMail</projectname_full>
    <desc_short>PHP based e-mail client</desc_short>
    <desc_full>AeroMail is a Web-based email client written in 
PHP. It uses an IMAP server to read and store messages in one 
or more user-defined folders, and its features include HTTP 
authentication for login (no cookies), folder manipulation, 
support for sending and viewing attachments, inline image
display, multilanguage support, and URL highlighting.</desc_full>

  </match>
  ...
</search-results>
To format this nicely we write an XSL stylesheet which defines the transformation: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> 
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" encoding="utf-8" />

<xsl:template match="/search-results">
  <html><head><title>XSLT Freshmeat Demo</title></head>
  <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
  <table>
  <xsl:call-template name="matches"/>
  </table>
  </body></html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="matches">
  <xsl:for-each select="match">
    <tr>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="match_count"/></td>
      <td><a href="{url_homepage}"><xsl:value-of 
                                        select="projectname_full"/></a></td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="desc_short"/></td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="date_updated"/></td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="license"/></td>
    </tr>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
We now use PHP's xslt functions to apply the stylesheet to the XML: 

<?php
 $p = xslt_create();
 $res = xslt_process($p,'freshmeat.xml','freshmeat.xsl');
 if(!$res) echo xslt_error($p);
 echo $res;
 xslt_free($p);
?>
Here is the result
