php help

[Bryon Kenne]

Steve,
I interpreted your outline as best I could into PHP code, but my code
is dying at the inner loop.  I don't think I am calling the individual
lines from the shape correctly....

Here is my code:
         $new_shape = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_LINE);
          foreach ($oShapeObjectList as $Shape)
          {
                foreach ($Shape as $line) {
                  $new_shape->add($line);
                }
          }

          $buffered_shape = $new_shape->buffer($dfTolerance);
          $shapefile = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_POLYGON);
          $shapefile->add(buffered_shape);

Any Ideas?
Sincerely,
Bryon
