I am going to be daring and try the MapScript 4.5 version. I can't bear
to have to reinstall PHP so I will take that chance. I hope there are
people out there using PHP5 so that we will have more support for it.
Thanks for the info. I will let you know the result.

There is one at the end of the page (the last link) which is a
php_mapscript built around February 7 using php5.0.3. These builds
(development builds) are done using the current CVS (the most recent
source codes). They are usually stable but only people who need the
latest stuff between releases should use them.
Here are a couple of options :
- if you absolutly need to use php5.0.3 :
* you could download the development version (the version is
labelled 4.5 and will be released sometime before May as 4.6)
* If you want the latest *release* version of
Mapserver/phpmapscript (which is 4.4.1) , I can do a custom build for
you but there are costs assocaited..
- If you do not need to use php5, I thing It would be preferable that
you downlod a php4.3.X version (I think It is 4.3.10) and use the
binaries at
http://www.maptools.org/dl/mapserver-4.4.1-win32-php4.3.7.zip.
</dl/mapserver-4.4.1-win32-php4.3.7.zip>
I personnaly think the 2nd option is best since that is what most of
the people are using right now. PHP5 is pretty recent and only few
people are using it right now with php mapscript .
