[MS4W-Users] ms4w 4.0.0 PHP-Mapscript Test

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Ludwig,

Thank you for your feedback.

As there are many changes as part of MS4W 4, be sure to always first 
check the documentation that is part of your local install: eg. for 
PHPmapscript see locally http://127.0.0.1/README_INSTALL.html#php

Make sure to follow all of the steps listed there, especially #5 to 
include the required file; I will paste those steps here for you to follow:

MapScript configuration
=======================

PHP
---

.. WARNING::

     As of the MS4W 4.0.0 release, PHPMapScript uses the `SWIG MapScript 
API <https://mapserver.org/mapscript/mapscript.html>`__.

1. PHPMapScript dll is located in ``/ms4w/Apache/php/ext``

2. PHP's configuration file "php.ini" is located in ``/ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin``

3. PHPMapScript is loaded by default

4. As of the MS4W 4.0.0 release, the PHPMapScript extension uses the 
SWIG MapScript API
    (see SWIG MapScript API docs at 
https://mapserver.org/mapscript/mapscript.html)

5. All of your PHP scripts must now always first include the 
``mapscript.php`` file
    containing MapServer constants:


     // required SWIG include (contains MapServer constants for PHP7)
     include("C:/ms4w/apps/phpmapscriptng-swig/include/mapscript.php");

6. Test this syntax with the provided quickmap.php file at 
``/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/quickmap.php``
    (see usage instructions in the top of that file)



Thank you for your interest in MS4W.
