[mapserver-users] MapServer and PHP

[Henrique Rennó]

I installed MS4W from the installer and it worked. Maybe the zip file has
some different configuration in php.

Just one more question. As I'll start using mapscript, do I have to use
this list to take doubts out or another list?

Thanks a lot for all your attention.
