[Mapserver-users] Mapscript extension error...

[Paul Spencer]

Richard, there are a couple of things that can go wrong, but this 
normally means that a dll that mapscript needs is not found in the 
system path.  On winXP there is a utility called depends.exe that will 
show you dependencies of any executable or dll file.  You can access 
this utility by right clicking on the php_mapscript dll and selecting 
"view dependencies".  The resulting screen will show you all the files 
that php_mapscript needs in order to load.  It is most likely that you 
are missing one of these files.  Once you have identified the missing 
files, it is a simple matter of making sure that the file is in your 
system path (normally by moving them to c:\windows\system32 or by 
editing the PATH environment variable).

It may also be that your IIS configuration is not correct, but that 
seems unlikely since you can load php.

Cheers,

Paul
