[Mapserver-users] img problem

[Martin, Daniel]

Well, I'm going to assume you are using the CGI mapserv.  AFAIK, the only
way the extent in the mapfile matters at all is if you are using
shp2img.exe.

The question really is: What extent are you passing into the page when you
initialize the CGI parameters?  IE, what is the value of [mapext].  If you
aren't sure, put [mapext] somewhere in your client to show the value -
somewhere outside of an html tag.
