[mapserver-users] Installing PHP MapScript with MapServer 6.0.0-3 and PHP 5.3.6 on Mac OS X 10.6.8

[Ben Madin]

Léo,

My guess is that your php.ini doesn't load the php_mapscript.so library. There was a mention somewhere when installing the current update that this doesn't happen (and you can't dl() it anymore);

so you need to go to the /usr/local/php5cgi/lib directory, and edit php.ini.

somewhere (anywhere!) you need to add the line :

extension=php_mapscript.so

(I personally put it below the line that loads ming.so so I remember where to look)

Then put a file with 

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

into your server root and execute it and you should end up with :

MapScript

I don't think it will show using php -m 

cheers

Ben

> Hi there, I've installed MapServer 6.0.0-3 (thanks to the installer from http://www.kyngchaos.com) on my local computer, which I'm guessing is working since that when I'm going to http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv? with my browser I can see this error : "No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty." which means MapServer is working, right ? I'd like to use MapServer through the PHP MapScript. My installation seems ok for my phpinfo() displays a MapScript section. But when I'm running "php -m" command in my shell, there is no mention of MapScript in the list of modules, I'm guessing something is going wrong here but I've failed to find out what it could be. The Apache version on my mac is 2.2.17 and I'm running PHP 5.3.6. I've tried to make this example work (I've of course changed the pathes in the MapFile so that they match to my local files), but despite my efforts it doesn't. And the script is not returning any error message, just an empty page. Any idea to help me solve that ? Thanks for your help ! Léo D.
