Re: ming simply doesnt work...

i sent headers before any output and it didnt worked. also i have checked 
mime.types file in apache config - there is "application/x-shockwave-flash swf" 
defined. as i mentioned before, ming was precompiled in php (phpinfo said 
--with-ming=/usr), and it was displaying "flash-that-looks-like-piece-of-crap". 
i saw that length of that crap depends on code complexity. but nothing happend 
until i had loaded php_ming.so module. then i saw a nice flash animation 
cycling in my browser....

next checkpoint - ming 0.3a !! :)

tnx guys!
