[mapserver-users] MAP File Question

[Stephen Woodbridge]

I have a question on how CLASSs work in the MAP file. Specifically in
the following example does the CLASS section work like a switch
statement int C with a break at each END? Such that if NAME = /^State
Hwy / then does it skip the rest of the CLASSs. Or such that I could put
a CLASS at the bottom with no EXPRESSION that could be used as a default
CLASS if non above were executed?

I hope this makes sense to you.
