[MAPSERVER-USERS] loadWeb() error on Windows 2003 (MS4W package)

Fri Feb 15 22:34:55 PST 2008

Well Suresh,

I just saw an error in your code.

Check this in your html code:

    [img]

Here, [img] catches the name of generated image file. This image file
resides in tmp directory. So, you will have to give it a path. Something
like /tmp/[img]. Play around this.. you will get your answer.

Regards,
Ritesh
