[mapserver-users] php fails on MS4W and Apache

Mon Jun 23 02:11:02 PDT 2008

Greetings,

I'm trying to test my PHP MapScript environment on MS4W.

Unfortunately, each time I run the following php file on the apache
server within MS4W, a same

error message is always thrown:

-- Error Message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function ms_newMapObj() in
C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\phpms_hello.php on line 7

-- PHP file:  phpms_hello.php

This example is from chapter8, book <Apress Beginning MapServer Open
Source GIS Development Aug 2005>

however, according to the author, this example is expected to be run a
Linux version mapserver (I guess so),

so I'm under the assumption that all configuration procedures described
in this book before running this example 

won't work for MS4W.

<?php

  // Create a unique image name every time through

  $image_name = sprintf("phpms-hello%0.6d",rand(0,999999)).".png";

  // Create a new instance of a map object 

  $map = ms_newMapObj("/ms4w/test2/hello.map");

  // Create an image of the map and save it to disk

  $image=$map->draw();

  $image->saveImage("/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/".$image_name);

?>

<html>

<head><title>PHP MapScript Hello World</title></head>

<body>

  <form action="phpms_hello.php" method="POST">

    <input type="image" name="img" 

          src="/tmp/<?php echo $image_name; ?>">

  </form>

</body>

</html>

Did I miss some configurations for MS4W to work with php or something?

Thanks!!!

Jeff.
