[Mapserver-users] Compiling PHP_MapScript.dl...

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

I just tried the function using a small script with the dll posted :

  <?php
dl ("php_mapscript_41.dll");

echo ms_getversion();
?>

results are

MapServer version 4.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP 
OUTPUT=PDF OUTPUT=SWF SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE 
SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER 
SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE


It seems to me that the php mapscript dll module did not load on your 
machine for some reason (common problem being some dll's related to 
mapserver library were not loaded). My best guess is maybe, you did not 
install the libpq dll (which is related to the postgis and available in 
the zip). But this is just a guess. I also suggest that you use a tool 
like depend.exe (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) that let you identity 
if you miss some dependent dlls.

Later,
