RES: [mapserver-users] Anybody have updated Mapserver Utilities??

[EDUARDO PATTO KANEGAE]

I don´t think this is "really" a good utiliti, but here it goes:

i´ve just worked in a project that was an intranet n it has a report that
	must show a grid, containting atributes, and too a map of the
grid(or a map of the forest specifcaly)...
and the problem in this application is that each map should appear in its
full extent. so, i dit this:

1.execute the utility SHPDUMP, with something like:
	$ shpdump mymap.shp > mymap.dmp // dmp -> Dump file result

2.execute the my PHP funtion 'get_shp_corners' passing the dumpfile as
parameter:
	
	$result = get_shp_corners('mymap.dmp');

3.and EURECA! finally got 2 coordinates at $result array that can be used to
set the EXTENT parameter of my MapFiles. e.g. :

i can write a MapFile using:
...
EXTENT x1 y1 x2 y2
...

where:
x1 = $result[0]
y1 = $result[1]
x2 = $result[2]
y2 = $result[3]

4.so, let´s see the PHP code:
/***************************************************************************
****************/
/*
get_shp_corners: returns an array containing x1 y1 x2 y2 - that is the full
extent - of a ShapeFile, based on its dumpfile
$dumpfile = a text file that is generated with the shpdump command

*/
function get_shp_corners($dump_filename){
	$dmp_hwnd = fopen($dump_filename,'r');
	if (!$dmp_hwnd){
		return FALSE;
	} else {
		fclose($dmp_hwnd);
		$vet_lin_dumpfile = file($dump_filename);
		
		$p_found[0]=FALSE;
		$p_found[1]=FALSE;
		$p_found[2]=FALSE;
		$p_found[3]=FALSE;
		
		$tmp[0] = "";
		$tmp[1] = "";
		$tmp[2] = "";
		$tmp[3] = "";
		
		for($j=0;$j<strlen($vet_lin_dumpfile[2]);$j++){
			$car = substr($vet_lin_dumpfile[2],$j,1);
			if ($car =="(" || ($p_found[0])){
				$p_found[0]=TRUE;
				if ($car!=","){
					if ($car !="(" && $car!=" "){
						$tmp[0] = $tmp[0] . $car;
					}
				} else {
					$p_found[0]=FALSE;
				}
			} elseif (($car=="0" || $car=="1" || $car=="2" ||
$car=="3" || $car=="4" || $car=="5" || $car=="6" || $car=="7" || $car=="8"
|| $car=="9" || $car=="-" || $car==".") || ($p_found[1])){
				$p_found[1]=TRUE;
				if ($car!=","){
					$tmp[1] = $tmp[1] . $car;
				} else {
					break;
					$p_found[1]=FALSE;
				}
			}
		}
		for($j=0;$j<strlen($vet_lin_dumpfile[3]);$j++){
			$car = substr($vet_lin_dumpfile[3],$j,1);
			if ($car =="(" || ($p_found[2])){
				$p_found[2]=TRUE;
				if ($car!=","){
					if ($car !="(" && $car!=" "){
						$tmp[2] = $tmp[2] . $car;
					}
				} else {
					$p_found[2]=FALSE;
				}
			} elseif (($car=="0" || $car=="1" || $car=="2" ||
$car=="3" || $car=="4" || $car=="5" || $car=="6" || $car=="7" || $car=="8"

				$p_found[3]=TRUE;
				if ($car!=","){
					$tmp[3] = $tmp[3] . $car;
				} else {
					break;
					$p_found[3]=FALSE;
				}
			}

		return $tmp;

Mike, have you tried MapLab? You can get information about it and download
it at the following address:

Subject: [mapserver-users] Anybody have updated Mapserver Utilities??


Hello,

    I have been beating my head against the wall trying to find
utilities that will ease the development of Mapserver web pages to no
avail!  I have downloaded and tried all the utilities on the Mapserver
home page but they don't work with my version of Mapserver!  I'm running
the latest stable version, 3.6.1, on a Sun box running Solaris 8.  I've
got mapserver working fine and the demo worked fine and mapplet works
fine in my demo, the only thing is that the "Mapserver Workbench"
developer told me that he has not updated his tool since Mapserver
3.4.x, so I can't use that, and "MapUtils" appears to be for old
versions of Arcview and old versions of Mapserver as well!  The files it
generates don't work with my version of Mapserver.  Has anybody updated
Maputils, or any other tool for that matter, to work with Mapserver
3.6.1?  I'd like to have something that generates the ".map" files out
of ArcView at the very minimum, but I'll take whatever I can get in lieu
of writing those config files manually!

HELP?!?!?!
