[Mapserver-users] problem installing php_mapscript_40.dll

[Giorgio Plazzotta]

Hi all,
i wanted to install and test the simple Gmap application found in the DM
Solution download site. There are downloadable versions for 4.0, 3.6 and so
on , therefore I decided to start with the last one (4.0) and test it in the
my winXP system with apache.
I also installed the mapserver-4.0-win32-php4.3.2 distribution, I updated
the php to from 4.3.1 to 4.3.3 (probaby not necessary) and then I tried also
to test the installation with the phpinfo and dl the php mapscript dll. Of
course i also updated the httpd.conf to point at the new php directory and
the php.ini under the windows directory to point at the new extension dir
containing the dll.
I got the error message unable to load the dll though it was there in the
proper directory, so i tried to change the php version to 4.3.2 without any
positive change. Only renouncing to the php_mapserver:40.dll library solved
the problem and therefore I had to use the _36.dll library to make it work.
I also had to install the _36 version of the gmap demo cause only changing
the name of the library in the gmap75.phtml file was not enough to make it
work. Now it all work with mapserver 4 but the mapscript and gmap 3.6
version.
Does anybody have an idea of what i did wrong?
thanx in advance
