The Amara XML Toolkit (<http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/4suite/amara/>) 
is an open-source collection of Python tools and has an ISO 
Schematron implementation. Amara 1.2a2 requires Python 2.4 and 4Suite XML 1.0
(<http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/4Suite-XML>), which is also open source.

I haven't found a PHP implementation of ISO Schematron; I only found 
a PHP implementation for Schematron 1.5 
(<http://phpxmlclasses.sourceforge.net/show_doc.php?class=class_schematron.html>). 
However, using XSLT shouldn't be a problem; see 
<http://phpxmlclasses.sourceforge.net/show_doc.php?class=class_xslt.html>.

If we choose the option of using the XSLT produced by the XSLT 
implementation (e.g. to use it in PHP code), we need to take into 
account that there is currently no stylesheet that produces an HTML 
report at <http://www.schematron.com/implementation.html> or at 
<http://www.schematron.com/validators.html>.

Best regards,

Christophe
