[mapserver-users] php/mapscript installation on fedora 7

Fri May 30 15:34:26 PDT 2008

Dear all,

I am having trouble to get php/mapscript work on fedora 7 and I would
appreciate any input on this.

I compiled Mapserver 5 successfully and the php_mapscript.so file seems to
be built fine (without any compiler error messages). I copied the
php_mapscript.so file to the /usr/lib/php/modules directory which also
contains other php extensions. In the php.ini file, I added the following
two lines:

extension_dir = "/usr/lib/php/modules"
extension="php_mapscript.so"

I also added a php_mapscript.ini file to the /etc/php.d folder. This file
only contains one line:

extension=php_mapscript.so

To test the installation of php/mapscript, I use the example file called
phpinfo_mapscript.php, which is as simple as this:

<HTML>
<?php
if (PHP_OS == "WINNT" || PHP_OS == "WIN32")
{
  dl("php3_mapscript.dll");
}
else
{
  dl("php_mapscript.so");
}
  phpinfo();
?>

There is no listing of the mapscript extensions table (there is no such a
table actually). I tried the phpinfo_mapscript.phtml file (which has exactly
the same content of the php file listed above) but only got a blank page in
the browser.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks,
Ningchuan
