[maplab-users] PostGIS 0.7.5 returning '0' for shape indexes

[Mike Leahy]

Now that I have PostGIS 0.7.5 running in the Cygwin environment, the
GMapFactory project I am using is able to display the layers that I have
loaded into the database without any trouble.  However, when I query the
layers, I get the following error from the PHP script:

Fatal error: Assertion failed, Could not set shape values: 0, 0 in
C:\edumap\www\Independencia\wrapper\map_query.php on line 530

Line 530 in this case is labelled below, in the processQuery function.
I think the problem here is that for some reason the query is returning
a bunch of shapes with 0 or null spatial index.  I tried making an if
statement that skips the code in the loop if the spatial index is not
greater than zero, and I just ended up with some other error (i.e.,
there were no results to be displayed).

I'm not sure if this is a problem with the GMapFactory project,
MapScript, or PostGIS.  It seems that for the time being, I'm going to
have to stick with the beta version of PostGIS.  I tried creating
indexes on the GID fields for the spatial tables, but that doesn't seem
to have any affect.

Any suggestions for this one?

Many thanks,
Mike
