[Mapserver-users] degree conversion

[Paul Dymecki]

Hi Ed,
    I was wondering if you know of any php scripts for converting from
dd/mm/ss to dd?  I wouldn't want to build one if it's already part of a
library somewhere?
thx,
Paul

shift (i.e. "project") point coordinates.  If you're seeing points show up
in a slightly incorrect place, you've probably got the wrong datum for your
source data.
