[mapserver-users] Re: Mapscript/PHP and TIFF

[Stephen Lime]

This is a GD issue. You must've compiled with a different version than PHP was compiled
with. In GD 1.2 the image array in GD is column major (i.e. img[x][y]) and in subsequent 
versions they switched that to row major for performance reasons. Get the versions of GD
in sync and I believe the problem will disappear.

Jamie,

PHP/MapScript does nothing special about the way things are drawn.  Are
your 'mapserv' CGI and your PHP MapScript compiled with the exact same
options?  Perhaps one of them uses native TIFF support in MapServer and
the other one uses GDAL's TIFF support?  (If so then we'll have to find
out why they behave differently.)

Maybe Frank, Steve, or someone else on the list already ran into a
similar problem and will have some ideas?
