I searched Mapserver site for UpdateFromString and found only MS RFC 31:
Loading MapServer Objects from Strings. I was able to use the save
function and print out the file which did work. However, my 2 attempts
failed.
$map->UpdateFromString('saved_map.txt'); got Call to undefined method
ms_map_obj::UpdateFromString()
and
$map2 = msLoadMapFromString('saved_map.txt'); got Call to undefined
function msLoadMapFromString()
I am using mapserver 5.0.0
It seems that the updateFromString() methods were never implemented in
PHP MapScript. We'll try to work on that soon and get them in 5.4. Here
is the related ticket:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2298
Note that there is no updateFromString() on the mapObj, only on the
individual object classes that compose a map (layerObj, classObj, etc.).
To instantiate a map from a saved file, you can pass the path to the
saved mapfile the mapObj constructor itself.
Actually, here is a list of the classes that implement
updateFromString(), from a quick grep of the SWIG MapScript code:
class.i: int updateFromString(char *snippet)
label.i: int updateFromString(char *snippet)
layer.i: int updateFromString(char *snippet)
legend.i: int updateFromString(char *snippet)
querymap.i: int updateFromString(char *snippet)
referencemap.i: int updateFromString(char *snippet)
scalebar.i: int updateFromString(char *snippet)
style.i: int updateFromString(char *snippet)
web.i: int updateFromString(char *snippet)
