Hi Eric!
First sorry for my poorly formatted response, in fact your email never
made it to my inbox, as the email server for this list is hosted on a
machine that was recently tagged on a spam 'blacklist' (see
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/2475), so I'm piecing together a
response to you manually ha.
Regarding upgrading to MapScript SWIG, the MapServer migration guide
actually lists 2 very important points regarding PHP that must now
always be followed (see
https://mapserver.org/MIGRATION_GUIDE.html#mapserver-7-2-to-7-4-migration).
1) all of your PHP scripts (that leverage MapServer objects and
functions) must now always first include the generated 'mapscript.php'
file containing MapServer constants:
// required SWIG include (contains MapServer constants for PHP7)
include("C:/ms4w/apps/phpmapscriptng-swig/include/mapscript.php");
2) take note of the change in how to declare your new objects with
the "new ..Obj" syntax :
// open map
$oMap = new mapObj("C:/ms4w/apps/phpmapscriptng-swig/
Regarding the required file 'mapscript.php', if you are compiling
MapServer yourself, it will be generated in your build folder alongside
the generated 'php_mapscriptng.so' (such as in
/mapserver-master/build/mapscript/phpng/
By odd chance, earlier today I added a working example for how to create
a new point object (with an inline feature) through PHP mapscript SWIG:
https://ms4w.com/trac/wiki/SWIGMapScriptNewLayer
The important parts of the example PHP script are:
<?php
// define variables
define( "MAPFILE", "C:/ms4w/apps/phpmapscriptng-swig/sample.map" );
// required SWIG include (contains constants for PHP7)
include("C:/ms4w/apps/phpmapscriptng-swig/include/mapscript.php");
// open map
$oMap = new mapObj(MAPFILE);
//******
// create new point layerObj
//******
$oPointLayer = new layerObj($oMap);
...
// draw map
$oImage = $oMap->draw();
?>
Hope that makes a little sense ha!
