[Chameleon] outline width fails to persist

[Paul Spencer]

Ken,

Chameleon does nothing to change styles in this way, AFAIK.  In cases 
like this, I usually suspect MapServer is doing something bad when 
saving a map file.

Try this script:

<?php
if (!extension_loaded('MapScript'))
     dl('php_mapscript.'.PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX);

$oMap = ms_newMapObj( 'path to map file' );
$oMap->save( '/tmp/map/file/path' );
?>

and compare the saved version with the original.  If I am right, then 
the width in the style element will have been changed ... and you can 
file a bug on the mapserver bugzilla.  If not, then I'll dig into it at 
this end (or Bill will ;))

Cheers

Paul
