[Mapserver-users] basic PHP mapscript config

Wed Feb 26 15:11:06 PST 2003

Eric, another option which seems to work and is portable is to use 
forward slashes ...

$map_path="c:/program files/oracle/ora81/apache/apache/htdocs/mapserver/";

also you should be aware that on Windows the filesystem is not case 
sensitive but on Linux it is.

finally, you should note that when using php filesystem functions (like 
realpath) on windows, the path separator is \.  We typically pass all 
paths through a function that does any conversion and concatenation in a 
safe way.

Cheers,

Paul
