[Mapserver-users] Re: php code inside a CGI mapserver application

[Steve Lime]

I thought that with Apache 2.0 you could chain together applications, so
that a MapServer query could write a PHP file that would then be
processed by the PHP interpreter and then on to the user. Mind you I've
not tried it. I see value in this type of processing. Why deal with
MapScript if you don't need to. I imagine you could use javascript as
well, but then, well you need javascript and PHP would give you the
server-side equivalent.

did someone answer this? As far as I can think... you can't really do
anything...

Apache can work with one server-side processor only... you either have
it work with Mapserver, or you have it work with PHP. Maybe there is a
way to make it work with both, but I can't think of any.

If you want to use PHP, why not ditch the Mapserver-as-a-CGI, and use
Mapserver-as-a-PHP module? Compile and install PHP/Mapscript, and then
use PHP to its fullest capability to do what you want to...
