[ka-Map-users] Printing Error --SOLVED!

[Daniel.Huber at ch2m.com]

Change the path in the config.php for the map file from a relative path
to an absolute.path.  What comes 'out of the box' with MS4W is 
 
      'path' => '../../gmap/htdocs/gmap75.map',
 
setting it to it's absolute path, based on how they suggest you install
the MS4W directory (at the root of c:\), gets everything working just
fine:
 
    'path' => '/ms4w/apps/gmap/htdocs/gmap75.map',
 
 
The absolute path method breaks because the print_map.php file is not at
the same level as config.php.  So while it appears that everything works
with the config settings because the map and controls show up just fine,
any PHP files called in the /tools directory will fail. 
 
Thanks Lorenzo for prompting me to look at the path for the map files.
This exercise has also taught me a little more about PHP, which I know I
am going to have to learn if I keep messing w/ MapServer.

	Could you send the config.php file you are using for your test
	application on ominiverdi.org?  I could compare the two.  The
one I have

	PHP is a new animal to me, so I don't know how to debug the code
in
	print_map.php to really find out what is happening.  According
to PHP
	sites, this error is related to one of the objects not being
set. 
	
	BTW, I'm using PHP 5.2.0, if that matters.

	Hi Daniel,
	to be honest I have no experience on Windows installation.
	
	Anyway, our test application on ominiverdi.org is working fine
to me:
	http://www.ominiverdi.org/ka-map/ka-map/htdocs/
	
	it is the same code of version 1.0 on a slackware linux.
	
	can you do some more tests?
	
	just trying: it seems it is not loading your mapfile properly,
are you
	using relative path in mapfile or config file?
	
	ciao
	Lorenzo
