RES: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] [PHP MapScript] Problem with ms_newShapefileObj and path with special characters

[Murilo Lacerda Yoshida]

  Sorry, I forgot to put the quotes on the example .. 
  You tested the cration with this name
("Hiro´s_TestTeste(blablabla:)_)datatesteShapeFile"), right?
  Please try with this name ("testeShapeFile") in the path
("/home/test/Hiro´s_Test/Teste(blablabla:)_)/data"). You'll have to
escape the parenthesis to create the path.
  The problem I had wasn't on the shapefile name, was in the path to it.
  Thanks,
     Murilo

ms_newShapefileObj and path with special characters

Hi,

I tried to create a shapefile and it work in PHP MapScript and it
worked.

ms_newShapefileObj("/home/test/Hiro´s_TestTeste(blablabla:)_)datatesteS
hapeFile",MS_SHP_POLYGON);

Note that I added the opening and closing quotes and that this path 
(/home/test/) is an existing path where the webserver as the right to
write.

Julien
