[MS4W-Users] converting saveImage to ms4w 4.0

[Jeff McKenna]

Hello,

This was answered recently, but here are the steps to follow through for 
you:

As you know, as of the MS4W 4.0 release, PHP is be handled through the 
SWIG mapscript API for MS4W, making PHP support better supported in the 
long run (as the same functions will be used by other languages as Java, 
Python, etc).  This means that to find your available functions and 
methods, the list is now found in the SWIG API document at 
https://mapserver.org/mapscript/mapscript.html

In your case, you can open that document and go to the imageObj section 
(https://mapserver.org/mapscript/mapscript.html#imageobj) and you will 
notice that the former function "saveImage()" is not there.

Now what to do?

- look at the SWIG API doc for another method to use.  You will notice 
that there is a "save()" method listed as part of the imageObj, that 
requires a mapfile and path.  In fact you can see this in action in the 
file on your machine at /ms4w/Apache/htdocs/quickmap.php (see line#38).

- if you cannot find a similar function or method, then file a new 
ticket in the MapServer issue tracker, mentioning the exact function 
name that was included in the PHP MapScript API and is not available in 
the SWIG API.  File the ticket at 
https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/

If you need a faster fix you can always contact me directly for my 
assistance.

Thank you for using MS4W.
