[mapserver-users] No fill after creating a shapeObj

[Arthur, John]

No, something shows up, but it is only an outline.  In fact, if I take the
outlinecolor off and leave the fill color, the outline will remain, but in
the color of the fill.  I am using MapServer 3.5 & PHP 4.06, but I have not
had a problem closing the SHP file.  

By the way, is there a better way to create a semi-circle or pie shape?

I assume that after creating the shapefile you add it to a layer on the
fly and then nothing shows up in the layer?

You should check a few things:

1- Make sure that you close the DBF and SHP files before using them in
   a layer:

    $shpFile->free();
    dbase_close($dbfFile);

2- Make sure you use MapServer 3.6 since 3.5 may have had some problems
with closing the SHP file depending on your version of PHP.
