this would be a beautiful solution and was what i first attempted, but the php_ming.so generated by the source code was not being loaded into php (verified by a phpinfo.php page). it saw the ming.ini file with extension=php_ming.so in it, but did not display the ming extension as loaded. when i ran the php code that made calls to Ming like Ming_setScale() or ming_useswfversion(), it would fail at that point and kill the script.
