[MS4W-Users] Organizing and Using Global Connections in MAP Files

[Jose Mercedes Venegas Acevedo]

Good day
excuse me only speak spanish
you can do this

INCLUDE "../file_conecta.map"

content of file_conecta.map
CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS
CONNECTION 'host=127.0.0.1 port=5433 user=postgres password=qawse234*.
dbname=sedalib34 options=\'--client_encoding=UTF8\' '

My application still uses ms4w 4.0 with php 5

If you could send me an example of your application with php 7 to see how I
could migrate mine, I would be very grateful.

have a nice day

Greetings from Trujillo - Peru

sorry for the writing I do it with google translate
