[Chameleon] Re: Problem with MapNotes

[Jimmy Lam]

Hi  list,

I was wondering if truly noone has encountered or could reproduce this 
error. Well it says warning, technically. I've now tried it on some 
public sites that have Chameleon samples online and those also have the 
same error. At first I didn't see them on my server but after checking 
the error log, they were definitely there. In php.ini, set show_errors 
to On if you want to see errors on the page instead of in the log. 
Unfortunately, I still haven't figured it out yet..

Regards,

Jimmy Lam
