[maplab-users] Maplab frustration!

[William A. Bronsema, C.E.T.]

Matt,

Have you tried down-grading your php to 4.2.3?  It is very easy to run 
multiple versions of php on the same server.  I  haven't tried 4.3.2 
with Maplab and can't guarantee that your problems aren't stemming from 
that.  As indicated in the install docs, Maplab was built using 4.2.x 
and is the version that is currently supported (4.2.3 being more stable 
than 4.2.1 and 4.2.2).

Regards,
Bill
