[Geomoose-users] getting started, running the demos question

[Dan Little]

I think we simply need to do more testing on the more bleeding edge software.  In some regard, we have enough issues keeping up with browser changes.  Moving past developer excuses,  I'm running OS/X 10.5.something and a few variants of debian and I believe they all have PHP 5.2, which is why there is probably some quirks when moving to PHP 5.3.

Brian/Len/Brent, any help on your versions? I just really don't use Windows for anything but running IE...

>Lastly, I tried using php 5.2.8 and I WAS able to get the GeoMoose demo mostly working.  However, some problems were occurring, likely because I didn't have php_mapscript, or maybe a wrong version.  I switched to php 5.3 because I couldn't find a php_mapscript for MapServer 5.4.2 for php 5.2.x and because it was what MS4W currently supports.
