[mapserver-users] Serialize MapObj of phpmapscript

[Steve Lime]

You can read a mapfile in PHP suck it's contents into a string (outside
mapscript) and store 
that in your cache once. Then you can pull that string from the cache
when  needed an 
instantiate a mapObj from it. About the best you can do at the moment I
think.
