[Mapserver-users] projecting a point in PHP MapScript

[Eric Bridger]

Chris,
1) pointObj->project() does not return a point, it just reprojects the
pointObj, so getting a null is not an error.
2) Still the crab_here point is not gettting projected.  When I did
something similiar in Perl mapscript, for my UTM projection I used:my
$proj_utm = new         
projectionObj('proj=utm,ellps=GRS80,zone=19,north,no_defs');
