[Mapserver-users] more than one map, multiple ms_newmapObject()

[Daniel Morissette]

If you want to render the same map multiple times then you can simply 
call $map->draw() multiple times on the same map object.

About calling ms_newMapObj() twice like you did, this worked for me when 
I tried it with MapServer 4.0 two minutes ago.  If you have a systematic 
way to reproduce this with MapServer 4.0 then please file a bug in 
bugzilla with the full details to reproduce, including mapfile, system 
configuration information, etc.
