[mapserver-users] MapServer 3.5 OGR/MapInfo Demos

[Assefa Yewondwossen]

Hi,

 Sorry with the confusion with the versions (my fault ;)

 Here is the status :

  - php4.05 with latest mapserver source code (works ok) :
    http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/php4.0.5_php_mapscript_35.zip


 - I have a problem with php4.0.6 (php_mapscript_35.dll). I will be working on
it and update our site when I have a working version.


Best Regards,
