Hi Scott! This might be from our more strict checks in MapServer >= 8. I tried the msautotest for wrap ( https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/blob/main/msautotest/renderers/labels-wrap.map ), and if I set "MAXLENGTH 0" I get your error (I do see in the docs a hidden line of "must be greate

Hi Rich, I can't find the .php file, as part of the initial (2006) dbox release, would you mind sharing it with me? I'll add it into the archive, for MS4W: https://ms4w.com/release/apps/dbox-0.9a1_demo_ms4w.zip (I updated the initial mapfile for dbox, so it works with MapServer 8+) thanks,

Hi Dieter, I also just used MS4W's PHP (PHP version 8.3.9) to call the setOpacity() function, to update the layer's opacity, such as: $oPolyLayer->setOpacity(40); (see sample script at https://ms4w.com/trac/wiki/SWIGMapScriptOpacity ) -jeff On 2024-08-07 11:38 a.m., Jef
