Measure tool return incorrect distance for MapServer

[aboudreault]

I'm using the trunk at the moment, and the Measure.php still return incorrect distance every time. For my demo, i use gmap-ms46 data. Here the response from the php script: {distance:-1}. Ask me if you need more information.

maybe a couple of things

• what is the units in the map file

• do you have mapserver build with geos ? (i yes what version) (see function msGEOSLength in mapgeos.c). If this is related to geos, we will update the bug so that there is a fall back in case geos is not defined

• the units in the map file are meters
• The problem was effectively related to geos. My MapServer wasnt built with it. In the MapServer/php/Measure.php file, we use the method of ShapeObj class getLength and this method is only available if php/mapscript is built with GEOS library.

  $distance = $shapeObj->getLength($shapeObj);

Remove geos dependency. Commited in 1.0.x r1350 Committed in trunk r1349

Alan, please close bug after test. Thanks.
