[mapserver-users] Metadata Hashtable

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Hi all,

I just looked through php_mapscript.c and I don't think there is a way 
to do this in php because the function was never written to access the 
hash table. You should probably write a bug on this for PHP/mapscript. I 
don't think it is a problem for the swig stuff.
