[mapserver-users] Workaround for image caching problems in php_mapscript

[Bruno Gendron]

Tim and Daniel,

Same for me, as far as I know, the image-caching
problem occurs in both situation, with or without
preloading php_mapscript.so.

About the runaway process problem: on thing I did was
to turn-on output buffering in php (ob_start) at the
beginning of the script, and to flush the output at
the end (ob_end_flush). That way, php_mapscript (or
php itself, or apache) seems to close the connection
properly, although I cannot certify this either :-(
