PHP MapScript Version 3.5 Documentation
See also:
* the Perl MapScript documentation:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc35/perlmapscript-reference.html
* the MapServer Map File documentation:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc35/mapfile-reference.html
* and the rest of the MapServer 3.5 documentation:

Very important notes:
---------------------
- Constant names and class member variable names are case-sensitive in PHP.
- Several MapScript functions (all those that access files in the back end
such as ms_newMapObj(), drawMap(), etc) will affect the value of the
current working directory (CWD) in the PHP environment. This will be
fixed eventually but in the meantime you should be careful about these
side-effects.

layer that contains a LAYER TEMPLATE value.
Mode is MS_SINGLE or MS_MULTIPLE depending on number of results
you want.
Passing buffer <=0 defaults to tolerances set in the map file
(in pixels) but you can use a constant buffer (specified in
ground units) instead.

a layer. At present the results MUST be based on a polygon layer.
Returns MS_SUCCESS if shapes were found or MS_FAILURE if nothing
was found or if some other error happened (note that the error
message in case nothing was found can be avoided in PHP using
the '@' control operator).

values are MS_TRUE and MS_FALSE. By defualt it is set at MS_FALSE
int getMetaData(string name)

char *processtemplate(array params, boolean generateimages)
Process the template file specified in the web object and return
the resut in a buffer.
The processing consists of opening the template file and replace
all the tags found in it.
Only tags that have an equivalent element in the map object are
replaced (ex [scale]).
The are two expetions to the previous statement :
- [img], [scalebar], [ref], [legend] would be replaced with the
appropriate url if the parameter generateimages is set to
MS_TRUE. (Note : the images corresponding to the different objects
are geneterated if the object is set to MS_ON in the map file)
- the user can use the params parameter to specify tags and
their values. For example if the user have a specific tag call
[my_tag] and
would like it to be replaced by "value_of_my_tag" he would do :
$tmparray["my_tag"] = "value_of_my_tag";
$map->processtemplate($tmparray, MS_FALSE);

Methods:
void free()

int saveImage(string filename, int type, int transparent, int interlace,
int quality)
Writes image object to specifed filename.
Passing an empty filename sends output to stdout. In this case,
the PHP header() function should be used to set the documents's
content-type prior to calling saveImage().
Type can be either MS_GIF, MS_PNG, MS_JPEG or MS_WBMP (depends on
which version of GD was used to compile MapScript)
Quality should be a value in the range 0-95, higher value implies
higher image quality and larger image sizes.
If quality is negative, then the default IJG JPEG quality value is
used (the quality value is ignored for all formats other than JPEG).

if writing to an external file, or the number of bytes written if
output is sent to stdout.
