[Mapserver-users] WMS Solution: PHP/Mapscript vs CGI?

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Pierre,

we use Mapserver CGI (as a WMS Server) on our data, and then PHP/Mapscript 
as the WMS client.

You can perhaps have a look at Chameleon (www.maptools.org), the same 
approach can be used in Chameleon.

Best regards,
Bart
