xslt interacting with other languages

Hello experts!
just a little intro question!

our company is using online software. obviously i dont have an access to any program code.
all i can script how i want is a XSLT code for pdf invoices templates.

the question is can i use some how parts of another script language within xslt.
like PHP or SQL to connect to DB.

i was thinking if i can use some external data at XSLT script (like images) may be it is possible to use something else?

below is part of code where i use external gaphic

<fo:table-cell padding="0pt 0pt 0pt 15pt" border="0" number-rows-spanned="8" vertical-align="top">
<fo:block><!-- list LOGO--><!-- list LOGO--><!-- list LOGO--><!-- list LOGO-->
		<xsl:choose>
		<xsl:when test="@currency='GBP'">
		<fo:external-graphic content-width="136pt" src="url(http://www.mysite/images/logo.gif)"/>
											</xsl:when>
.
.
.
.
.
etc
