Ian, I interpreted your question a little differently than the other respondents, so, let me see if I understand your aim correctly, that is, 1) to have the option of displaying your map re-projected to other coordinate systems, OR 2) to be able to display the numeric values for the center and extents of the maps
These are somewhat different aims, so if your aim is the 2nd option, then the code that Andy gave will do what you need. If you simply want to have an alternate projection, then you can just set the projection of your map to the desired projection using the mapscript function setProjection(string proj_params, boolean bSetUnitsAndExtents), and mapserver should automatically re-project for you (provided that each of your layers has its projection specified). You can find the documentation for this function in the phpMapscript/mapObj documentation on the mapserver web site. Good luck, r.b. -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ian Tidy Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2007 9:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Coordinate Conversion Hi, I need some help with a small enhancement to my MapServer site. I have been asked to display the map extents and centre in other coordinate systems. Currently the map window returns NZMG co-ordinates, I have been asked to supply these coordinates in NZTM, WGS84, and a few others. I am using MapServer 4.6, MapScript and PHP on a Linux Server. Is there a MapScript function that will convert between coordinate systems or is there another way of doing this?
