[mapserver-users] PHP -> PNG

[Hankley, Chip]

OK...I'm feeling pretty ignorant.

I am developing ALL of my Mapserver apps using PHP mapscript. Right now I'm
using PHP 4.0.4pl1.

I'm thinking about converting to PNG...and I thought all I would have to do
was change the version of mapserv.exe from the GIF version to the PNG
version... but I guess that's not the case (OK, in retrospect, I should have
figured that out...I started out using MapServer in the cgi-bin, as in the
tutorial.)

Anyway, I'm gathering now that when using PHP-Mapscript, Mapserver is
embodied in the php_mapscript_34.dll, and has nothing to do with what is in
cgi-bin.

To make php-mapscript generate PNG instead of GIF, do I need to find someone
to compile it with a different version of GD? Anyone done this willing to
share? Does the version for 3.5 do PNG?

Thanks!
