[mapserver-users] PHP MapScript 3.6.x cgi/module

[Daniel Morissette]

Thorsten,

ms_GetVersion will work even if PHP is not as a CGI.

The error about CGI mode was added in ms_newMapObj() since you can't do
much in MapScript without creating a mapObj.  So if you try calling
ms_newMapObj() then you will see the error.
