does the testphp.php work?  (loads mapscript and calls phpinfo)

I've had mysterious issues like this in the past. One correct line causes the whole thing to implode and disappear. Yet the problem turns out to be somewhere else. I've cleaned up code a bit and that helps. Let's see if I can remember...

I hope we're not getting too far off topic here.

The main thing I've found that tends to kill PHP is continuing lines. Like when you concatenate strings together (these are separate lines):

$z = 'part of a string' . $somevariable .
'some more';

I think this is correct PHP, PHP is supposed to keep going across line breaks until it find the semicolon to close the statement, and it works most of the time, but sometimes it's enough to kill PHP. If you need to break lines to make it more readable, close the statement and start again on the next line:

$z = 'part of a string' . $somevariable;
$z .= 'some more';

Hi William,

happy that I was that my database was with your help up-and-running again, I attacked my postgres plus now postgis conversion. And whoops,... no more map display. I am shocked!! :-)

Ok, I tried it with only

        dl("php_mapscript.so");

But in vain. Still same result. Nothing displays. Not even a simple echo.

The apache and sys log don't give any results either. Once I had a "LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection" displayed, but it disappeared suddenly...

Gush, what is this magic, that makes disappear everything on my page?!?!
