[mapserver-users] unable to set symbol in php?

[Daniel Morissette]

Which version of PHP MapScript?

In version 3.6, you can set a symbol by name using

  $class->set("symbolname", "star");

or overlaysymbol using:
  $class->set("overlaysymbolname", "star");

This is new in 3.6 and wasn't there in 3.5
