I checked this "zoom to raster layer" and to my surprise it does seem to work correctly, using e.g. Geotiff or Jpeg with world file for the raster layer data.
a simple test is // => adapt map file and layer name <= $mapFile = "/path/to/test-mapfile.map"; $rLayerName = "test"; $map = ms_newMapObj($mapFile); $rLayer = $map->getLayerByName($rLayerName); $rLayerExt = $rLayer->getExtent(); print_r($rLayerExt); This prints out correctly the raster layer extent in both MS 5.6.6 and 6.x. You should check your MS version, I guess older ones returned -1 or so for raster layers. Postgis layers do not seem to produce useful results, but for this I already added a different approach. armin On 15/06/2012 13:20, Giovanni Manghi wrote: > Hi Armin, > >> But I have doubts the "zoom to layer" is a >> functionality frequently used. > > on the contrary :) > > I think that it is a very useful and often required feature. > > cheers! > > -- Giovanni -- > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Live Security Virtual Conference > Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and > threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
