[gdal-dev] New PHP bindings - php5-gdal

[Jean-François Gigand]

Hi,

I have update the license of php5-gdal to the same as GDAL (I copied
the license block).
The project website is: http://projects.geonef.fr/projects/php5-gdal/wiki

If you want to add a link to
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/#GDALOGRInOtherLanguages, the project is
ready for it.

Regards,
