Raster EXTENT on the fly {Scanned}

[Siki Zoltan]

Hi, 

Did you try layer's getExtent?

-- from phpmapscript documentation

rectObj getExtent()
        Returns the layer's data extents. 
        If the layer's EXTENT member is set then this value is used, 
        otherwise this call opens/closes the layer to read the 
        extents. This is quick on shapefiles, but can be
        an expensive operation on some file formats or data sources.
        This function is safe to use on both opened or closed layers: it
        is not necessary to call open()/close() before/after calling it.
