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

[William Kyngesburye]

PHP 5.3 doesn't allow extension loading from scripts now without compiling support for it into PHP and enabling it in php.ini.  Unfortunately, I could not get that to work for my PHP package, so you must load extensions from php.ini with:

extension=php_mapscript.so

I need to add a note about this to my MapServer package, or make the installer do it.

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.

[Marvin]  You think you have problems?  What are you supposed to do if you ARE a maniacally depressed robot?  No, don't try and answer, I'm 50,000 times more intelligent than you and even I don't know the answer...
