php template not displaying .map file

[Daniele Margotti]

CGI Mapscript takes the template, substitutes the [variables] with
values that are calculated on basis of current map view, and output this
new HTML to the browser.

It does not process PHP files (or PHP instruction): this is only made by
Apache (i.e.: if PHP page is requested to Apache, directly from the
address bar of the web browser).

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] php template not displaying .map file


Dear all,

My final question is a little more troublesome, in fact i have been 
struggling with it for well over 6 months now...

I currently have a webpage written in .php (embedded in html) that i am 
using as my .map web template.

At the moment, when the php/html file is loaded this only displays the
html 
formatting and an empty mapserv window, despite the .map file
referencing 
the use of links1.1.php file as the template.:
http://localhost/tm/links1.1.php

When I include various extra map parameters in the browser address bar,
it 
just displays the map in a new browser window:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/tm/World_TM
.map&layer=Africa&mode=browse
&program=/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe&web_map_template=links1.1.php

If anyone could shed some light on the issues i am facing i would be
very 
grateful! I could include the scripts as an attachment if it would help?


Cheers
Olly
