Adding shapefile dynamically with php_mapscript 4.4.2

[Jacob Delfos]

Hi All,

I am trying to dynamically add a shapefile which I created at runtime. The shapefile is created successfully (it opens up ok). But I am not having any luck adding it as a layer.

This is the code I have:

      $queryResultlayer = ms_newLayerObj( $oMap );
      $queryResultlayer->set( "name", "Queryresult" );
      $queryResultlayer->set( "type", $shapetype );
      $queryResultlayer->set( "status", MS_ON );
      $queryResultlayer->set( "data", $szSessionDir."/queryResultShapefile");
      $queryResultlayer->set( "template", "ttt" );
      $queryResultlayer->set( "tolerance", 5 );
      $queryResultlayer->set( "toleranceunits", MS_PIXELS);
      $queryResultlayer->setProjection($mapprojection);
      $queryclass = ms_newClassObj($queryResultlayer);
      $queryclass->set("name", "Query result"); 
      $queryclass->set("status", MS_ON);
      $style = ms_newStyleObj($queryclass);
      $style->color->setRGB(255, 255, 0);
      $style->outlinecolor->setRGB(255, 0, 0);

The layer is not showing (extents of map are correct). I am not getting any errors either. The temporary mapfile being created in the session directory does not contain my layer. Am I missing something?

The $oMap object is a reference to the $oMap from the session (using Chameleon). I am loading the session from an Iframe, and creating the $oMap object like:

$oMap =& $oMapSession->oMap;

So if I add a layer to the map object, the layer should show if the map image is reloaded in the main frame, right?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Jacob
