[maplab-users] Php/CGI - MapLab problem

[David Graham]

Just installed the latest MapLab but now having problems with Php.  Here 
is the details

Php 4.1.2

MapScript Version ($Revision: 1.113 $ $Date: 2002/07/08 21:28:57 $)
MapServer version 3.7 (development) OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP 
SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG 
INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

Apache 1.3.23

Linux version 2.4.18-3 (bhcompile@porky.devel.redhat.com) (gcc version 
2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110)) #1 Thu Apr 18 07:32:41 EDT 2002

I am not a Php person, but I have done a lot of work with mapscript.  I 
installed MapLab and everything was working great, until I tried to 
render things.  Then I got a page generated by Mapscript that refrenced 
a threading problem at 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPMapScriptCGI.

So I endevered to install the CGI version of PHP.  I first found that 
Red Hat ships with one in /usr/bin.|

root@host# cp /usr/bin/php /var/www/cgi-bin/.
root@host# vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf |

I found the section for the php4 module.  It looked like:

| <IfModule mod_php4.c>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php3.c>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
    AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php.c>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
</IfModule> |

I remove the .phtml type from the php4 section. Then add the following 
lines below the php module definitions.

| Action phtml-script /cgi-bin/php
AddHandler phtml-script .phtml |

I restarted the Http Server and went back to the maplab/htdocs/index.phtml page and this is what I got:

*Warning*:  Unexpected character in input:  '' (ASCII=4) state=1 in */var/www/cgi-bin/php* on line *6081*
*Warning*:  Unexpected character in input:  ' in */var/www/cgi-bin/php* on line *6082*

*Parse error*:  parse error in */var/www/cgi-bin/php* on line *6084*

My question is - What have I done wrong!

Things worked well before I made the switch to CGI (with the exception that mapscript did not want to work).  Any help anyone can give would be aprecieated.
