[Mapserver-users] More MapScript 3.7 problems

[Lars V. Nielsen]

Hi Daniel,

No I haven't, but then I didn't think I needed to. If I've already set up a default IMAGETYPE in the MAP file, why do I need to call
a routine to do basically the same thing ?? I thought setOutputFormat was only necessary if you wanted to change from the default to
another defined format !?

And when I do insert the routine call, i.e. "$map->selectOutputFormat("xxxxx");" - found the typo :-) - I still get the previous
error from "$map->draw()", only now only for all formats with IMAGEMODE RGB (png24, jpeg etc.). I've also tried to employ DRIVER
"GDAL/..." (Frank's suggestion) but that apparently didn't change anything...

Btw:
Is there a built-in way to determine which version of MapScript is currently loaded - is there a property somewhere in the MapScript
Object Model ("MOM"?), or must I keep track of it myself ? I'm trying to stick to a single code base here :-)

Best regards/Med venlig hilsen
