Hi all,

I'm attempting to build a small framework for publishing =
Mapserver-solutions, but my extensive use of relative paths is giving me =
headaches.

Can anyone point me to an exhaustive explanation of how relative paths =
are evaluated in Mapserver/Mapscript ?

Or are relative paths, as one would expect, always considered relative =
to the file in which the relative path is given ??

These files are of relevance to me :
- PHP script that loads the MAP file
- MAP files
- symbols definition files
- font lookup files (fontset)

Best regards / Med venlig hilsen
Lars V. Nielsen
