[Mapserver-users] Fw: Setting up a custom projection object in MapEdit

[Daniel Morissette]

This is not directly related to MapServer or PROJ, it must be something 
related either to MapLab or your PHP settings (I think there are some 
PHP settings to automatically escape strings and you may have enabled 
them).  First thing to try would be making sure that you're running the 
latest version of MapLab, and if the problem persists then try the 
maplab-users list, maybe someone on that list will have already seen 
this and will have some hints to offer.
