[mapserver-dev] PHP MapScript - construct mapObj from text string instead of file

[Mike Leahy]

Hello list,

I was playing with beta3 last night, and noticed this RFE: 
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2399

It just so happens that this is exactly what I need at the moment for a 
project I'm working on, where I'm saving user-customized mapfiles as 
text in a database.  Right now, in order to save/restore a map object, I 
have to read/write to temporary text files.  I've already written a bit 
of code that does this for me, but it would be simpler and probably more 
efficient to read/write the text strings directly.  Is there anything 
being done with this?  If so, would there be an svn branch or some 
documentation about how to do this?  If not, that's fine, and I hope 
nobody minds me asking.

Regards,
Mike
