[mapserver-users] Reading spatial objects from a relational database

[Even Husby]

I would like to integrate a relational database containing geographic
objects with Mapserver, and is wondering if this can be done using
PHP/Mapscript and ODBC. Can someone help me by providing a sample script or
by guiding me towards relevant documentation?

regards,

only


In short, is this possible?

With the PHP library I'm using ms_newMapObj('') to return an empty map
object to work with. The Mapscript documentation states that this will
return an emtpy object, the PHP does not specifically state this, but I
get no errors at this line. After adding layers and classes I get an
error stating "Invalid Handle" whenever I attempt to call the draw
method of the map using the above.

The same mapping functionality when I use an existing .map file seem to
work fine.

Has anyone implemented something similar?
