[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] phpmapscript code problem

Alberto,

Don't forget that you have to install PHP as CGI and not as a module for
Apache in order to use PHPMapscript.  I did not used the document you
mentioned to install PHP on my server.  Instead, I recommend you the
installation instructions from Mapserver Wiki which are very straight
forward and works very well
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?RedHat9AndMapserver40b).
These instructions are for Linux, but the essence is there:

# download and install php
#

sudo cp sapi/cgi/php /var/www/cgi-bin/php433    ##Copy php to your
cgi-bin/php433##

# edit your php.ini:
# add this information:
# extension_dir = "your_php_extensions_directory"

## Don't forget to copy your php_mapscript.dll to you PHP extensions
directory

# add to httpd.conf

# For PHP scripts as CGI-BIN
#
AddType application/x-httpd-php-cgi .php .php4 .phtml
Action  application/x-httpd-php-cgi /cgi-bin/php433

#Now create your php test file and check the output

Since I never tried it before on Windows, I cannot certify you the good
behavior of your server...  Maybe someone else can provide more
information...  

Please keep in touch...

I think that my problem is with my httpd.conf from apache or in my php.ini,
in fact, if itry to execute this line php file:

  <HTML>
    <BODY>

    <?php 
      dl("php_mapscript.dll");
      phpinfo();
    ?>

   </BODY>
   </HTML>

I receive this error on  the top of the page:

Warning: dl(): Not supported in multithreaded Web servers - use extension
statements in your php.ini .......

I've read this document about the installation
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/phpmapscript-install-howto.html) and it is
all ok

what's wrong?
Do you have any suggestion

thanks 
alberto

Is your server correctly installed to serve PHP?  Can you send your map file
so we can diagnose more accurately your problem?

 $map_path="c:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/apps/maplab_2.1/tutorial/";
 $map = ms_newMapObj($map_path."tutorial.map");
 $image=$map->draw();
$image_url=$image->saveWebImage(MS_PNG,1,1,0);
