[mapserver-users] PHP Mapscript styleObj implementation broken?

[Nicol Hermann]

Hello,

I have huge difficulties to use the styleObj in PHP MapScript
(Mapserver 7.3-dev, PHP 7.1).
I am struggling with the setPattern() method and the linecap property.
If I am using
$styleObj-> setPattern( array( 8.0, 12.0) );
this gets translated to the following MapFile syntax

PATTERN
 4620693217682128896.00 4622945017495814144.00
END 

The attempt to set the linecap property
$styleObj-> set('linecap', 'butt' );
results in
LINECAP NONE
Specifying it as integer completely removes the property.

Can someone please advice if these are bugs or if I am doing something
wrong as this is not documented?

Thank you very much
Nicol
