Problems with the Zoom Function of the PHP MapScript Module

[Doyon, Jean-Francois]

This sounds like a problem I found a while ago with that version of
MapServer, it was giving me
head aches at the poles and so on ... I would suggest you download the
latest version
and give it a try, if the problem is the same , it was fixed soon after
3.3.011 ...
