[mapserver-users] Compatibility between mapserver versions: nquery issue

[Arthur Delorme]

Indeed, even though I had php files, no php were found inside... I don't 
remember why I used php extension but they are not accepted anymore.

So everything is fine, I will just put an html extension.

Thanks for the help

Arthur
