[Mapserver-users] PHP MapScript on Mac OS X?

Thu Mar 18 14:25:34 PST 2004

Bill,

Thanks for your input.  Zak pointed out the Wiki previously although I  
had already seen it.  I am planning to follow it to the letter over the  
weekend.

My concern with PHP 4.3.4 on Mac OS X 10.3.2 (now 10.3.3, I guess) is  
that my understanding is that the dl() mechanism is broken.  Consistent  
with that, I can not seem to get dl() to work with any modules -  
php_mapscript or otherwise.  To be fair, I have never need to use that  
mechanism before, even though I have been programming PHP for a couple  
of years, so I don't know if I am doing it correctly.  I was hoping to  
get a yea or nay on whether the mechanism still works before going back  
to square one.

I know I need to use PHP compiled as a CGI (rather than a DSO) and I  
can set it up that way (like you do).  However, I have been struggling  
to get my DSO working with one extension and my CGI with the other at  
the same time.  I was hoping to see a complete httpd.conf setup this  
way to cut to the chase but I'm sure if I keep beating on it I'll  
figure it out (although I still wouldn't mind seeing a dual-PHP  
httpd.conf *wink*).
