map loading error

Thu Jul 20 02:09:49 EDT 2006

Hello!

I'd like some help in using PHP/Mapscript. I have a freshly installed
Mapserver machine and is testing some simple php webpages to see if
everything is working, especially PHP/Mapscript:

<?php
	dl ("php_mapscript.so");
	echo("php_mapscript.so loaded.\n");   //to see if the library will
sucessfully load.
	$map_path="/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/recipe1/hello.map";
	echo($map_path);                             // absolute path to the map file
	$map = ms_newMapObj($map_path);
	$image=$map->draw();
	$image_url=$image->saveWebImage();
?>
<HTML>
 <HEAD>
 <TITLE>Mapserver "hello world"</TITLE>
 </HEAD>
 <BODY>
<img SRC="<?php echo $image_url; ?>">
 <p>This is the simplest example I could come up with.</p>
...
</BODY>
</html>

I'm using the following map file. It should produce an image with just
a line of text in it:

MAP
	NAME HELLO
	STATUS ON
	EXTENT 0 0 4000 3000
	SIZE 400 300
	IMAGECOLOR 200 255 255
	WEB
		IMAGEPATH "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/tmp/"
		IMAGEURL "/tmp/"
	END

	LAYER
		NAME "credits"
		STATUS DEFAULT
		TRANSFORM FALSE
		TYPE ANNOTATION
		FEATURE
			POINTS
				200 150
			END
			TEXT 'Hello world.  Mapserver rocks.'
		END
		CLASS
			LABEL
				TYPE BITMAP
				COLOR 0 0 0
			END
		END
	END

END

The output I'm getting is the following:
php_mapscript.so loaded. /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/recipe1/hello.map

So
