[ms4w-users] Problems with PHP MapScript (php_mapscript_48.dll)

[Jeff McKenna]

A good test is also extracting the 'PHP/MapScript Sample Application' 
from the MS4W downloads page and see if it works (you'll have to make 
sure that its code points to your php mapscript dll name first, in the 
'gmap75.phtml' file).

Then, if it is just a problem with your own php test script, you'll need 
to turn to the main MapServer mailing list for your question, since the 
PHP MapScript users and developers live there. (note that you should 
always include your full test script when posting to those lists)
