<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>The PHP mapscript wrapper looks
promising. Thanks. The examples would need to be combined into one php
file to handle both GetMap and GetCapabilities requests. Seems doable.
I'm not a programmer and didn't want to get into mapscript, however, modifying
this script template doesn't seem too difficult (if you already have PHP, which
my server does.)<br>
<br>
I'm not a big fan of copying and renaming the mapserv.exe file but it does work
well. We only publish a handful of services and do not expect to significantly
increase in the future. If we do, scripting a batch file would work just
as well. This is relatively easy and without the need to install (re:
maintenance, security) or learn additional programming languages. <br>
<br>
For me, it's also important to have short, easily readable URLs to send out to
people that use our WMS services. I do not want the extra
"?map=mymap" parameters at the end of the URLs. For one reason
or another, things always get screwed up when people start pasting these URLs
into their desktop GIS or other apps. Simpler the better, even if it's not
elegant or involves slightly more work on my part.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>If you have php it's quite easy to write a small wrapper for
it. See <a href="http://www.mapserver.org/ogc/mapscript.html#php-example"
target="_blank">http://www.mapserver.org/ogc/mapscript.html#php-example</a> so
the only thing to do is to write the wrappers once and you have a single setup
of Mapserver.<br>
<br>
Thomas<br>
BTW: The Example should be updated - I think php_mapscript_4.10.0.dll is out of
date. The name of the .dll is just php_mapscript.dll.<o:p></o:p></p>
