[ms4w-users] Fwd: php_pdf.dll Problem When Using Chameleon PrintProduction Widget

[Jeff McKenna]

Some of my thoughts on this:

- php_pdf is not distributed with php5 (it used to be distributed with  
php4)
- since ms4w 2.2.7 contains php 5.2.5, you can download php_pdf.dll  
from:  http://pecl4win.php.net/ext.php/php_pdf.dll (use the  
'php-5.2.1' version)
- however, Chameleon's printproduction code for using pdf is now  
outdated.....I posted the change required in chameleon's code 2 years  
ago here: http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1480 (see  
comment#6)
-  jessica please place your test results in that chameleon  
bug...maybe you will spur the chameleon developers to include this fix  
in the next release
