Hi Puneet
Just a note to say thanks for contributing this stuff.....I received
the .png, but am still waiting for my .zip to arrive. I will hopefully
contribute some php samples in the near future too.
Regards
Tim
Tim, I am not sure why you didn't get it because there is a message in my sent folder to you and no error messages. Maybe you got it after you sent me the above message. I and you all are dealing with Outlook and Xch Server on my end, so be gentle in your patience... with these two programs handling my email needs, as it is my hands are full of crap.

Dave,
Herein lies the rub. As you might be aware, I made this project on RH, MS3.4, Apache, and PHP. When that box was moved back to the client site, I had to move the app somewhere else. Well, I have a working MS3.5 on my Windoze box but I quickly discovered the nasty web of MS dependencies... PHP dll wouldn't run on my Windoze box because I had Apache multi-threaded. Now there is one thing I don't do with a working Windoze box -- I don't mess with it, I just leave it alone. So, I wasn't going to recompile Apache or install IIS or any such thing. So, I decided I would rewrite the whole thing in Perl because I have ActiveState Perl on my Windoze box (and I also have MySQL on Windoze). Well, then I learned that Perl Mapscript has had a high failure rate (if any success at all) on Windoze. That's where I ran into the stonewall of frustration.
Anyway, I will act on your suggestion and see if I can cobble together a small snapshot of the MySQL database and some shape files. I will also include the map file. And the flowchart (believe you me... that flowchart was the most invaluable aid to me in laying out my app).
To SDL, Jamie,
Is it possible to put things on the umn server for folks to download. I mean, I don't mind the email method at all, but staging the files somewhere central would definitely be the more elegant thing to do. Is there (could there be) a pub portion of the server where Mapserver list members would be able to ftp stuff onto...
Thanks much,
