[Mapserver-users] 3.7 classes guide? was: queryByRect of a PostGIS layer

[Charlton Purvis]

So are you implying that I should actually read the error message?!

Thanks, Daniel.  I'll keep stumbling along now that I've gotten past
that error.  But where in the world is the 3.7 equivalent of
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/phpmapscript-class-guide.html?  I have
been relying on that for my classes guide not knowing it was for 3.6.

Which version of MapServer are you using?  

In version 3.6, the shapepath argument was required for open(), with a
postgis layer you could pass any value for this argument and it would be
ignored.

In version 3.7 the shapepath argument is gone, so you should call
$layer->open() with no argument.

Unfortunately I cannot be of much help with respect to postgis-specific
issues, but in theory what you're doing seems to be the right thing.
