[MapServer-users] PHP Mapscript: how to clone layers

[Seth G]

Hi Jan,

I'm not a PHP MapScript user but you should be able to use:

$l2 = $l1->cloneLayer();

As per the note at the following link - "In the Java & PHP modules this method is named cloneLayer. "
https://mapserver.org/mapscript/mapscript-api/stub/mapscript.layerObj.html#mapscript.layerObj.clone

I'm guessing there is a clash with the a reserved keyword in PHP so the method needs a different name.

Seth
