[ka-Map-users] install ka-Map into xampplite

[Paul Spencer]

Regine,

it sounds as if xampplite loads php as an apache module rather than  
as a CGI.  As the error message indicates, when PHP is used in this  
way, the dl() function is disabled.  ka-Map attempts to load two  
dynamic modules, gd and mapscript, if they are not already loaded.   
The fix for this is to edit your php.ini file and ensure that you are  
loading these two extensions.

extension=php_mapscript_48.dll
extension=php_gd2.dll

note that the first line depends on the version of mapscript that you  
are using, so please check and see what the actual file name of the  
php_mapscript DLL is.

Cheers

Paul
