[Chameleon] Map Loading

[Tracy Howlett]

Paul, 

Thanks for the help.

When I copy the URL directly into the browser I was getting this error:
PHP Warning: dl(): Unable to load dynamic library
'C:\PHP\extensions\php_mapscript.dll' - The specified module could not be
found. in C:\apps\cwc2\htdocs\common\wrapper\drawmap.php on line 271 PHP
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ms_getversion() in
C:\apps\cwc2\htdocs\common\wrapper\drawmap.php on line 272 PHP Notice:
Undefined index: gszSessId in C:\apps\cwc2\htdocs\common\session\session.php
on line 135

I adjusted the drawmap.php to look for php_mapscript_4.0.1.dll(my version)
and then I get this error:
PHP Notice: Undefined index: map_session_mode in
C:\apps\cwc2\htdocs\common\wrapper\drawmap.php on line 332 PHP Fatal error:
Call to a member function on a non-object in
C:\apps\cwc2\htdocs\common\wrapper\drawmap.php on line 375 PHP Notice:
Undefined index: gszSessId in C:\apps\cwc2\htdocs\common\session\session.php
on line 135
I've checked my session paths in the php.ini file, the session.php file and
they seem to be correct.

I tried using your sample php script and running it from my
chameleon_sample/htdocs directory and this is the result:
PHP Warning: [MapServer Error]: msGetLabelSize(): Could not find/open font
in C:\Apps\chameleon_sample\htdocs\maptest.php on line 4 PHP Fatal error:
Call to a member function on a non-object in
C:\Apps\chameleon_sample\htdocs\maptest.php on line 5
I've checked every path that I can find relative to the font files and they
all appear to be correct.

Any thoughts?

Tracy

Tracey, there are a couple of things that can cause this problem, but 
you should be able to isolate it by right clicking on the broken image 
link in the main map and selecting properties, copying the URL (should 
be to '<something>/drawmap.php?<parameters>') into a new browser and 
loading it directly.  This will try to draw the map into a separate 
browser window and hopefully you will get some sort of error message 
that will tell you what the error is.

My first suspicision is some sort of error in the map file.

To test this, you can create a small php script to make sure the map 
loads and can draw ...

<?php
dl('php_mapscript_40.dll'); //or whatever version you are using
$oMap = ms_newMapObj( "<path to your map file>" );
$oImage = $oMap->draw();
$szURL = $oImage->saveWebImage();
echo "<img src=$szURL>";
?>

this script, and variations of it are very useful to make sure that the 
map file is both syntatically correct, and the data for the layers is 
set up correctly.  If this works, then the error is somewhere in the 
chameleon configuration or it is a bug in chameleon.

Cheers,

Paul
