[mapserver-users] PHP Mapscript styleObj implementation broken?

[Nicol Hermann]

Hello Seth,

you are right. I am using PHP MapScript rather than then SWIG bindings.

Actually the question where the setPattern method belongs to was my
first question to the dev List.
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/setPattern-in-symbolObj-in-PHP-MapScript-td5389111.html

As it is at least somehow working in conjunction with the styleObj it
believe it belongs to this object.
The examples in the Cartographical Symbol page also refers to the
styleObj.

Thanks
Nicol
