[Mapserver-users] PHP version and Maplab

[Lars Schylberg]

Hi !

I have tried to set up and use Maplab this week under php 4.3.0. But 
after some attemps and some
errors,  I read the documentation that told that Maplab is broken under 
PHP 4.3.0.  I managed to get
it up ok with the demo data but the big map never showed.  Do anyone 
know how far away
PHP 4.3.2 is ?  What is that is broken in MapLab and PHP 4.3.0 ?
