Thanks Steve. I should have been able to guess that, but the
PHP-MapScript documentation
(https://mapserver.org/mapscript/php/index.html) still has a metadata
member for the MapObj. As well as for the WebObj
As has been said before, the documentation for PHP Mapscript
(https://mapserver.org/mapscript/php/index.html) is not very helpful.
Essentially, it still describes the pre-SWIG version. I have been
compiling MapServer since before the first marvelous MapServer-meeting
in 2003 (https://maps.hisgis.nl/conferences/2003/mum/, look at the
photographs!), but I have been using the UbuntuGIS version for the last
few years. It was really a pain to get the current version working from
scratch in a user directory. I was almost starting to think about
switching to GeoServer :-). To get the "official" PHP-Mapscript-guide
working I had to use:
https://ms4w.com/trac/wiki/MigrationGuide5.x
https://mapserver.org/MIGRATION_GUIDE.html
https://mapserver.org/mapscript/php/migration_guide.html
https://mapserver.org/mapscript/php/index.html
The main new requirements (including mapscript.php and setting
mapserver.conf) core-dump the PHP-script when missing, so that too leads
to some not-so-nice debugging. I would strongly advise to bring the
documentation of MapScript up to date and to base it on the most recent
version. And to clean out a bit the remnants of previous releases.
There seems to be a working Docker-version for MapServer/Mapscript in
Debian Bookworm
(https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-dev/2023-October/017032.html),
but I haven't tested it yet. Has anyone worked with it? And does anyone
know of a recent Docker version for Mapserver/Mapscript in Alpine? Some
organisations I am working for in the Euregio Aachen-Liege-Maastricht
require Alpine for their Docker version.
Anyway, thanks to Tanya, Vassilis and Steve,
Jan Hartmann
