[OpenLayers-Users] map.toJSONString, too much recursion

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Hi Tim,

I would be very interested in this. Are you able to e-mail me the code, 
or provide it in some other way?

Currently, I use PHP/Mapscript on the server-side to read in a WMC, 
create a MAP file, and then convert the MAP file to OpenLayers 
javascript objects. That works pretty fine. But I haven't got a way yet 
to go from OpenLayers objects to WMC for interaction with a print 
service. My interest is mainly WMS layers though.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Bart
