[mapguide-users] capturing map image

[Kencana]

Hi Andy,

First of all thanx for the solution you gave me...it works..
anyway, have you tried to create a web service for mapguide using PHP and
SOAP?
I got some problem in retrieving the map image to the client..
just wondering is there a simple way to do it?
thanx once again

regards,
kencana
