help with XML and XSL dynamic pages

hey all, i've searched and searched and still have yet to come up with a 'good' answer to my question.
is it possible to pass an XSL file a parameter (using JS, PHP, URL variable)?
i have an XML file containing a list of "girls" (for a sorority website, no pr0n here

), each has it's own node:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<cabinet>
<girl>
<name>Trina</name>
<class>Beta</class>
<birthday>01.28</birthday>
<major>Communications </major>
<position>President, Alumnae Chair</position>

<url>girls/trina.html</url>

</girl>

i have a cabinet.php page which lists each girl's name AND a singleGirl.php page which i want to display ONE girl's information.
i just can't get a variable passed from the cabinet.hp page to the singleGirl.php page.
tried everything i can think of, any ideas? i can direct you to the files if necessary. Thanks for the help all, if you help me i'll buy you a beer (soda for anyone under 21)!!!

"93Simon",
You're more than welcome to the 'Ranch but I'll have to ask you to change your display name as it doesn't comply with our naming policy.
Thanks.
