[mapserver-users] Re: php/mapscipt getExtent

[alim karim]

as per mapserver 4.4 release notes:

- Layers now accept an EXTENT through the mapfile (bug 786). Nothing
  is done with it at this point, and getExtent still queries the
  datasource rather than getting information from the mapfile-specified
  extent.


it seems as though getExtent is not behaving as described above. has anyone
else experienced this behavior?
