Mapscript installation problem

[Johannes Weigel]

Hi everybody,

I' trying to run Mapserver 4.6.1 with apache 2.0.54 and PHP 5.0.5 on a 
Mandrake 10.0 linux machine. I followd the verbose linux install howto 
(http://ms.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/verboselinuxinstall) which worked 
quite well, and finally I got everything installed. Apache with PHP are 
active, and Mapserver is working, as I get an answer to my cgi-request 
("No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty.")

Then I tried to run a demo application (hello.phtml from 
http://www.mobilegeographics.com/mapserver/) but I don't get a map 
display. Instead only a part of the php request is displayed: draw(); 
$image_url=$image->saveWebImage(); ?>

(The HTML code starts as following:
<?php
dl("php_mapscript.so");

$map_file="./hello.map";
$map = ms_newMapObj($map_file);
$image=$map->draw();
$image_url=$image->saveWebImage();

?>
)

Can anybody tell me what is the problem? I even copied the 
php_mapscript.so into the appropriate php extensions directory. To 
compile PHP and Mapserver I used the following options:
PHP:
./configure \
 --prefix=/usr/local/apache2/php \
 --with-php-regex=/usr/local/apache2/php/include/php/regex \
 --disable-cgi \
 --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache2/php \
 --with-openssl \
 --with-kerberos \
 --with-zlib \
 --with-bz2 \
 --with-curl \
 --enable-dbase \
 --enable-ftp \
 --with-gd \
 --with-pgsql \
 --with-xsl \
 --with-mysql \
 --with-gettext

Mapserver:
./configure \
 --with-proj=/usr/local \
 --with-geos=/usr/local/bin/geos-config \
 --with-ogr=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config \
 --with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config \
 --with-postgis=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config \
 --with-curl-config=/usr/bin/curl-config \
 --with-httpd=/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd \
 --with-gd=/usr/local \
 --with-php=/usr/local/apache2/php \
 --with-php-regex=/usr/local/apache2/php/include/php/regex \
 --with-wms \
 --with-wfs

Best regards,

Johannes
