<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I am having a strange occurrence. I have a php script
that uses PHP mapscript to manipulate some maps. I have no problem with
it if I call the script from my web browser, however, when I call it via
command line PHP, i.e., “php scriptname.php”, it fails when I try
to do anything with the map object.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

is in fact loaded when php is invoked from the command line. It looks as
thought the command that I am using to instantiate the map object instance is
failing.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>To create the object, I use: </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

avail, same behaviour, script dies without any word whenever I try to call a mapObj
method.</span></font></p>
