[Mapserver-dev] PHP/mapscript and PNG problem

[David Graham]

Steve,

This is very interesting. I had a very similar problem when I built the 
4/21/03 3.7 nightly build on Win32 with PHP 4.3.1. In the end I never 
resolved the problem. In fact I have not built a single copy of 
Mapserver since. I came to the conclusion that my build environment was 
too currupted from building dozens of different opensource projects in 
dozens of versions. I have since requested a new clean machines to do my 
builds on. It has not shown up yet.
