[maplab-users] Maplab installation and configuration

[Zak James]

Ivan,

If you know the relevant php extensions are loaded, you can comment
out the dl() calls in the maplab code and it should function properly.

Also note that there is a known problem with mapedit and the most
recent releases of php 4 and 5. Check the download page on
maptools.org for details
