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

[Rupert, James]

Hi Steve and Daniel,

 Thanks for the help, it was the GD problem. I had explicitly told PHP to
compile with GD 1.2 but noticed that the configure stated that it did not
have GIF support. This was because I had originally compiled PHP with GD 1.8
and did not remove the config.cache file. Once I deleted the config.cache
and reran configure and compiled and installed PHP and apache everything is
now working.

 Now its time to learn how to use mapserver and PHP/mapscript to create a
layer and draw symbols that can be queried at locations from a postgresql
database. Any examples would be a great time saver

Again thanks for the help.

Jamie
