[mapserver-users] Debugging PHP/Mapscript

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Daniel,

I grabbed the gmap75 release stuff and got the same behavior. I also
added to the bottom of the test_draw_map.php3 the following loop that
will cause it to segv the also:

for ($i=0; $i<$map->numlayers; $i++) {
  $mlay = $map->getLayer($i);
  printf("layer %2d = %s\n", $i, $mlay->{name});
}

So, I am off to build a debug version of php3. One thing I remembered
about my builds is that PHP3 is configured --with-system-regex but when
mapscript tries to build it insists on trying to use the stuff in the
php-3.0.18/regex directory which was not compiled. I run make in that
directory and then mapscript is happy and links in that stuff.

Now that I think about it that doesn't seem like a good thing, because I
now have two version of regex loaded: the system lib and the php dir!
Any thoughts on this?

I'll let you know how my debug session goes.
