[Mapserver-dev] Serious conflict with other php packages

[Rodrigues, Joseph]

Hi,
I am posting this to all developers to alert you of a know conflict with
a php package known as Chartdirector.  This is a commercial product that
is for charting graphs in php and although it is commercial, it is
freely available to use with 100% functionality.

The known problem:
 Chartdirector has a Class called 'Line' and 'Layer' and causes a
conflict with php as phpmapscript has classes with the same name.  The
result is neither works without changing the one class name.

I use Mapserver with phpmapscript to build charts on the fly and graph
them using Chartdirector.  I want to suggest a name change to MSLine and
MSLayer or anything else of your choice to differentiate from such
generic names as Line and Layer.  I made a similar suggestion to Peter
Kwan of Chartdirector.
