 New Comment:

I was adding support for PHP4 to the script, which made me wonder: if
binary arrays are meant to be received like this, what would be the
fastest way to reformat them?

        foreach ($content As $obj) {
        // or foreach($content->value As $obj) in PHP4
          $image .= chr($obj);
        }
        echo($image);

or maybe something like

        function rchr($v, $w) {
          $v .= chr($w);
          return($v);
        }
        $image = array_reduce($content, rchr);
        // or $image = array_reduce($content->value, rchr); in PHP4

or something else?

Thanks.

FYI, source of a now-operational version here:

http://demis.inny.org/temp/wms_working.php.txt

Non-operational script as .phps file:

Description:
------------
I was translating the following script:
http://demis.inny.org/temp/wms.asp.txt
http://demis.inny.org/temp/wms.php.txt is a non-functional translation
I had at that time.

If $QueryString ($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) contained the proper
variables/values, the WMSServer would return a
byte-stream/array/whatever (I'm no genius at COM and such) containing a
map-image.

http://demis.inny.org/temp/wms.php.txt would return, instead of the
image, 8 question marks (????????). I solved this by changing
echo($content); into the following:

if (substr($contenttype, 0, 5) == 'image') {
  $image = null;
  foreach ($content As $obj) { // $obj will contain 1 byte each time,
echo'ing it would print a decimal which in turn represents an ASCII
value. hence chr();
    $image .= chr($obj);
  }
  echo($image);
} else {
        echo($content);
}

But this doesn't seem too resource-efficient to me (a run of foreach
for every byte), and I doubt it's an intended work-around (the ?'s
really got me puzzled, I'd have expected an error message).


Anyway, seeing as I needed to use chr(); with foreach, this seems
related to a fixed bug #15782: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=15782

Maybe you were aware of all of this.. Maybe not. Cheers.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$WMSService = new COM("DemisWMSConnect.Service");
$MapServer = $WMSService->WMS($wms);

if (!is_object($MapServer)) {
        dosomestuffand();
        die();
} else {
        $content     = new VARIANT(null);
        $contenttype = new VARIANT(null);
        $return = $MapServer->WMSRequest($QueryString, $content,
$contenttype);
        header('Content-type: '.$contenttype);
        echo($content);
}
