Tiled datasets with OGR

[Delfos, Jacob]

Roland / Daniel,

Sorry for adding to this a bit late.
The STYLEITEM AUTO isn't what crashes in the tileindex. The problem is
that the OGR Tileindex itself doesn't work properly in php_mapscript
(which is what I believe Roland uses, if I recall correctly).
I lodged a bug for this a while ago:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1700

OGR Tileindex works fine in the CGI, but not in php_mapscript (since at
least version 4.4).

Regards,

Jacob
