PHP Mapscript and WMS Server

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Nicole,

   There at least one way that works when outputting the result of a 
GetMap request with a png format. The 2nd example on the 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wxs_mapscript/#php-example.
<?php

dl("php_mapscript_4.10.0.dll");

$request = ms_newowsrequestobj();

$request->loadparams();

ms_ioinstallstdouttobuffer();

$oMap = ms_newMapobj("../../service/wms.map");

$oMap->owsdispatch($request);

$contenttype = ms_iostripstdoutbuffercontenttype();

if ($contenttype == 'image/png')
    header('Content-type: image/png');

ms_iogetStdoutBufferBytes();

ms_ioresethandlers();

?>

Could you try this ?
