Problems with PHP as Module and as cgi with PROJ

[Flavio Hendry]

hi william

thanks for your feedback. we solved the problem:
1. going with php as cgi (the issue as module is well know, see
bugzilla 67, thanks danmo).
2. the projection problem was that I was using some old version or that
files where missing. installing the newest one solved it ... (strange
enough it worked as a module, maybe cgi needs more stuff, who knows ...)

in any case we were going nuts yesterday, as bugzilla says "users get
maps from each others requests" and we had that ... kind of fun, you
never know which map will show up next! wow!

the result is on http://waedenswil.mapserver.ch/stadtplan.htm, btw the
first neapoljs 2004 site on-line ...

Mit freundlichem Gruss / Best Regards
Flavio Hendry
