[MS4W-Users] version 3.1.0

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Björn,

Regarding setting up the Oracle plugin for MapServer, please follow the 
steps in your local README, or here: 
http://www.ms4w.com/README_INSTALL.html#d-plugins

You will notice that there is no mention of "php_oci8_11g.php" in those 
steps to enable the Oracle plugin for MapServer, I am not sure where you 
saw that mentioned for version 3.1.0

It could be that you are requesting an enhancement for the PHP build of 
MS4W 3.1.0? It could be that you need a new extension built for PHP? (I 
have no idea yet though) I am not sure what you are requesting, but if 
that is what you need you can always file your enhancements on the 
Tracker at http://www.ms4w.com/trac/

I need more information from you first, to understand what you need to 
do.  Are you saying that there is a PHP extension missing?  I am not 
sure.  Maybe just following the steps in the README (only those steps), 
and then test phpmapscript (don't uncomment anything else), does that 
work?  If yes, that's great, PHPMapScript is working on your server. 
Then, I am not sure what you need after that.  Please explain.
