Hello, This is my first post here and I'll have to admit to being a bit
of a Mapserver beginner!
At the moment I'm working with MapServer on a shared FreeBSD (Pair.com)
system. Although I haven't managed to get CGI working (probably because
I can't restart Apache), I do have PHP MapScript working. Eg. the "Map
3" example in Bill Kropla's "Beginning MapServer" book, and I'm well on
the way to making my own maps using a different set of shapefiles that I
have.
I would like to use OpenLayers to make the maps appear more "snappy" and
user friendly.
I think I have some conceptual problems - is it possible to use
OpenLayers with PHP MapScript? How do I go about it?
I have one of the OpenLayers samples for MapScript:
function init(){
map = new OpenLayers.Map( 'map' );
layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.MapServer( "OpenLayers WMS",
"http://labs.metacarta.com/wms/vmap0";, {layers:
'basic'},
{gutter: 15});
map.addLayer(layer);
map.setCenter(new OpenLayers.LonLat(lon, lat), zoom);
map.addControl( new OpenLayers.Control.LayerSwitcher() );
}
This looks simple enough, except for the MapScript URL! Where does it
get the map file from?
How would I get this to work with PHP, considering I can't get CGI to work?
Thanks,
Richard
