Thanks Dan/Brent.<br><br>Would you say that GeoMoose 2.2 would be tested/modified to work with MapServer 5.4.x and PHP 5.3 (and therefore MS4W 3.0 from a Windows perspective)? Actually, GM 2.2 could probably work for all MapServer 5.x versions....<br>
<br>And that GeoMoose 2.0.x works with MapServer 5.2.x and PHP 5.2 (and therefore MS4W 2.3.x)?<br><br><br>I wouldn't mind using GM 2.2 with PHP 5.2 (at least temporarily) if I can find a php_mapscript dll based on PHP 5.2 that works with MapServer 5.4.2.<br>

Dan, John,<br>
<br>
I agree; we need to test GM 2.2 with MS4W 3.0. I'll have a look at the beta.<br>
<br>
I see that PHP's dl() is deprecated (due to security and threading issues), but the doc doesn't say what the replacement is (use the PHP.ini?). I think our plan would be to modify config.php to test if a module is loaded (as it does now) and just give a message if it isn't:<br>
<br>
if(!extension_loaded('gd') && !extension_loaded('gd2')) {<br>
printf( 'Please ensure the following extension is loaded using php.ini:'.'php_gd2.'.PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX);<br>
}<br>
<br>
Unless there's a better way?<br>
<br>
As for the php.dbase.dll, we could ask the MS4W people to include it...<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
Brent Fraser<br>

I think we simply need to do more testing on the more bleeding edge software. In some regard, we have enough issues keeping up with browser changes. Moving past developer excuses, I'm running OS/X 10.5.something and a few variants of debian and I believe they all have PHP 5.2, which is why there is probably some quirks when moving t o PHP 5.3.<div class="im">

<br>
Brian/Len/Brent, any help on your versions? I just really don't use Windows for anything but running IE...<br>

< b>Subject: [Geomoose-users] getting started, running the demos<div class="im"><br>
question<br>
<br>
I'm trying to setup GeoMoose but ran into a problem that I'm not<br>
sure how to fix. After several hours of modifying my environment,<br>
here's where I'm at now:<br>
<br>
<br>
Windows OS<br>
<br>
Apache 2.2.11<br>
<br>
PHP 5.3.1 (VC6 x86 Thread Safe (2009-Nov-19 10:20:08) from<br><span>
<a target="_blank" href="http://windows.php.net/download/">http://windows.php.net/download/</a>)</span><br>
<br>
MapServer 5.4.2 with PHP_MapScript from ms4w_3.0_beta7 2009-09-01<br><span>
(<a target="_blank" href="http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL_3.0.html">http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL_3.0.html</a>)</span><br>
<br>
GeoMoose from moose2-trunk as downloaded from the tarball as of Jan<br>
1. ( I choose this over the 2.0.1 release because I liked some of<br>
the changes in 2.2.)<br>
<br>
<br>
Apparently, the php dl() function is now deprecated as of PHP 5.3. Even with the enable_dl set to 'On' in php.ini, it still throws an<br>
error when trying to run the demo. GeoMoose uses this function. How can I get around that?<br>
<br>
Also, I see GeoMoose uses php_dbase extension. That dll is not in<br>
the PHP or MS4W distributions I downloaded. I did see a php_ogr dll<br>
in MW4W though. How can I get around this?<br>
<br>
<br>
Lastly, I tried using php 5.2.8 and I WAS able to get the GeoMoose<br>
demo mostly working. However, some problems were occurring, likely<br>
because I didn't have php_mapscript, or maybe a wrong version. I<br>
switched to php 5.3 because I couldn't find a php_mapscript for<br></div>
MapServer 5.4.2 for p hp 5.2.x and because it was what MS4W<div class="im"><br>
currently supports. <br>
<br>
Thanks for any help or thoughts.<br>
<br>
- John<br>
