Mapscript compilation on Windows

[Sture Dingsøyr]

Hi again...

Thanx for quick response...with the help of your answer...i solved the problem :-)

When i build the binary i did this serveral times, and each time i added some functionality..eg. WMS, PROJ, POSTGIS just to confirm that things worked.

In the mapserver directory a libmap.dll is created along with mapserv.exe. 

When i had compiled mapscript and copied the php_mapscript.dll to the c:\php\ext catalog i forgot to also copy the libmap.dll to c:\php (i have c:\php in my PATH variable).

Once i did this <? phpinfo ?> now outputs "INPUT=POSTGIS" and everything works great...

Thanx again :-)

Best regards
Sture





The php mapscript would not indicate that. I does not indicate any 
supported formats. If your php mapscript is linked with a mapserver 
library built with Postgis, then you should have it. The best thing is 
to open a simple map file with a postgis layer using mapscript.

Later,
