[mapserver-users] inconsistent PHP/Mapscript non-object error

[Mark Giesbrecht]

Hi All,

My setup:
IIS 5.0
PHP 4.06 as cgi
PHP/Mapscript

I've come across the wierdest of problems with a php script on two
different IIS 5.0 machines.  In my script, with no parameters passed, it
displays a simple map.  I then flag labels on, zoom to different
extents, and the map still displays (on both machines).  The problem
lies with one machine, where I try to turn specific layers on with a php
isset/switch combination, the script bails with an error with:

Call to a member function on a non-object in
C:\MYWEB\newsite\gedcomap\mapscript\postmap.php on line 164

My line 164 is:

$img->saveImage('',MS_GIF, 1, 1, 75);

Now, it is obvious in the error that the $img object no longer exists,
but for the life of me can't explain why it works on one machine, and
not the other.

Any thoughts, ideas?
