[gdal-dev] Future of PHP bindings

[Daniel Morissette]

Mateusz,

I presume the PHP bindings you are referring to are some SWIG-generated 
bindings, right?

In case anyone is interested, we had also built a while ago a php_ogr 
extension (hand made). I have not tested it myself with GDAL 1.5, but it 
may still work or be easy to port if anyone needs it.  The source and 
documentation for that php_ogr module are available at:
http://dl.maptools.org/dl/php_ogr/

Actually, I think a copy of the php_ogr.dll is included in MS4W, so the 
module must still work with recent GDAL releases.
