[mapserver-users] PHP Mapscript on Debian 10

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Sven,

Native PHP MapScript is no longer supported (and will be removed for the 
MapServer 8.0 release).

Instead you must use SWIG MapScript support, so be sure to set 
-DWITH_PHPNG=ON in your cmake command.  SWIG >=4 is recommended for this.

You can then follow 
https://mapserver.org/MIGRATION_GUIDE.html#mapserver-7-2-to-7-4-migration to 
adjust your scripts.
