well, you didn't give it any query information, so it complained
correctly.

since you haven't provided any code, I have to guess. Did you give it
a valid php code? Remember, some basic syntax changes are expected
since whatever you were using earlier. Perhaps you should provide
sample code you were trying to run.

there wouldn't be. The Mapscript module is dynamicall loaded, that is,
loaded only when included in a script, etc.

Check the latest compatible PHP version and upgrade to it. Although, I
know from personal experience that 4.1.2 works just fine.

Have a safe and happy new year.
