[Chameleon] Problem with chameleon and php 5.1.1

[Sears, Jeremy]

*** I have re-sent this msg to the list as I think the original was only
sent to Jeff McKenna, apologies to those who may recieve this msg twice. ***

Thanks for the advice Jeff and Paul.

I have managed to get the newer version of php_mapscript_48.dll to work with
php 5.1.1. It was simply a matter of referencing it in php.ini and making
sure the extension was in the extension dir. 

I do need a feature that seems to be only available in php5, this is why I
am upgrading my MS4W's php installation.


I have another issue now. When attempting to load a map. PHP gives me the
following notice:

Notice: Object of class MapSession_RW could not be converted to int in
D:\ms4w\apps\chameleon\htdocs\chameleon.php on line 611

and it fails to load the map into my browser. 


The code on line 611 of chameleon.php is as follows:

    function CWCInitializeMap()
    {
        //session map init
        // create a new map session object if not created
        if ($this->moMapSession == "")
//***line611****
            $this->moMapSession = new MapSession_R;

Any thoughts on what need to be changed to make this work?



Many Thanks
Jeremy

It's not surprising that php5 causes that error with your ms4w because 
the phpmapscript binaries that are in ms4w are compiled for use with 
php4x.  I wouldn't recommend upgrading to php5 unless you absolutely 
need a feature in php5.

As you noted, you can use that php5 mapscript download to upgrade your 
mapscript binaries in your ms4w.

I can't speak for any Chameleon affects of using php5.  Personally, 
stick with the default ms4w.
