[Mapserver-users] MINSCALE in webobj

Then, to ease this checking, is the value of minscale from the mapfile present 
in php_mapscript as a member of the map-object? According to the reference 
docs, it's not. To enable me to do my own check with php now would require me 
to hardcode the minscale value in my php code, which is not what I prefer. I 
am trying to write more or less generic code, which I don't have to change 
when I change my mapfiles... If I can acces the minscale value from 
mapscript, please point me in the right direction... If I cannot, I will add 
this as a feature request to bugzilla.
