[maplab-users] GMAP problems

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Paul,

I've done a little digging, and I can make my gmapfactory app work again 
with php_mapscript_44_beta2.dll.  In 
~/yourgmapfactoryapp/wrapper/map_session.php comment the following line:

line 845 $this->oMap->setprojection(implode( "\n", split( " ", 
$aszKeys["SRS"] ) ));

If I comment out that line my gmapfactory applications work (for 
mapscript_42 and 44.  I'm not a developer, so this isn't a fix...but try 
and see if it works for you.  Hopefully one of the original developers 
can explain the purpose of this line, so I'll add this to the bug report 
and see what they say.
