Hi,

I've uploaded tclhttpd, hacked to run php cgis. I tested it and it runs 
test test.php with the distro, as well as some of my mapfiles, 
generating the images..
I've also included the hack, php .tcl that's incorporated into the 
server. If there's a problem with the php path, edit this file and
"source" it from the console once the server is running, thus 
overwriting the Cgi array....

Regardless though, this same structure can be used with windows when 
wrapped with a win interp...

This file is tclphp-win.exe
I've also added the tclhttpd.rc that can be used instead of the command 
line switches. Using this you would start as

./fgswebserver -config tclhttpd.rc
or
tclphp-win.exe -config tclhttpd.rc

This stuff is at http://www.maich.gr/hup

Caveats I saw. This hack runs php files that are under the /cgi-bin 
directory correctly....

You can add cgi directories from the console as

Cgi_Directory  /new_cgi_dir /physical_path_to_dir

Doing this, it seems that php files run, but they then need a .cgi 
extension...
The server can be configured for running .php extensions in other 
directories, but the system then compalins that
php was  compiled with FORCE_REDIRECT........
and her's where I lose it/interest wrt to php.....
I used php 4.3.4, which includes the 4.0 mapscript dll....

Daniel maybe someone can inform as to how a typical php site structure 
is setup?

regards,

nicolas
