Display a simple map in PHP

Fri Feb 18 22:21:10 EST 2005

Hi,

I am simply trying to display a simple map and yet, it doesnt seem to work.
This is the code for my PHP file.

<html>
<head>
<title>hey you...</title>
</head>
<body>
<?
if (!extension_loaded('php_mapscript')) {
   if (dl('php_mapscript.so')) {
      echo " MAPSCRIPT LOADED! ";
   }
   else {
     echo " MAPSCRIPT NOT LOADED! ";
   }
echo " test 1 ";
$map_path="/var/www/cgi-bin/";
$map_file="tut1.map";
echo " test 2 ";
//$map = ms_newMapObj($map_path.$map_file);
$map = ms_newMapObj($map_path."tut1.map");
//$map = ms_newMapObj("ogr.map");
echo " test 3 ";
$image=$map->draw();
echo " test 4 ";
$image_url=$image->saveWebImage();
echo " test 5 ";
}
?>
<IMG SRC=<?php echo $image_url; ?> >
</body>
</html>

The output is simply:
"MAPSCRIPT LOADED! test 1 test 2 test 3 test 4 "

as if the process crashed or something, the </body></html> are not even
shown, it's like the process is freezing or something, it's very strange.
Can somebody tell me why is this happening?

Thanks for any help.
