A confused Network Admin

[Lisi, Christine]

Thank you, Paul.  I changed the script to your version, which returns a
lot of good data but I'm getting this error:

Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Unable to load dynamic library
'C:\PHP\php_mapscript_44.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\testmapscript.php on line 3

slight clarification, the php module name is case sensitive and for
mapscript it is actually "MapScript".

For the record, my test script for testing MapScript extension is a
little simpler :)

<?php
if (!extension_loaded('MapScript'))
     dl('php_mapscript_44.'.PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX);
phpinfo();
?>

Also, for most purposes, it is more convenient to make a copy of
php_mapscript_44.dll and name it php_mapscript.dll, then your scripts
can all reference php_mapscript.dll as the most recent version.  When
4.6 comes out, you can test your apps then upgrade everything by making
php_mapscript.dll a copy of php_mapscript_46.dll

Cheers

Paul
