[mapguide-users] External SHP file Refresh?

[GordonL]

Thanks, that did the trick!

   $OldResourceID = new
MgResourceIdentifier('Library://BASEMAP/1_DATA/SHP.FeatureSource');
    $resourceContent = $resourceSrvc->GetResourceContent($OldResourceID);
    $resourceHeader = $resourceSrvc->GetResourceHeader($OldResourceID);

Now I can access the SHP file as soon as I upload it using the MapGuide API.

Thanks guys!  That is a nice trick.
