Re: script failing at same line

$map = ms_newMapObj($mapfile); The command creates a new mapscript object. Jay Blanchard wrote:

[snip] I have a script that intermittently fails at the same line.

But those really won't help you :) We need to see the code at that line and be told what is being done in order to make a reasonable guess. My bet is that the data being fed to the script has a character that is not expected or something.
