[Mapserver-users] mapserver and context-based

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

Hi,

You can use MapServer for Web Map Context Documents with PHP MapScript, which has two methods within the map object:

loadMapContext();
saveMapContext();

Check out the PHP docs for more info.

There is also a 'hidden' feature you can specify in your mapfile WEB METADATA object:

"wms_getcontext_enabled" "1"

..which, if specified, allows for MapServer CGI to respond to:

http://host/mapserv?map=map.map&request=GetContext

..keep in mind this is turned OFF by default, as the mapfile WMS connections may have information you may or may not want to expose.

Hope this helps.

..Tom

I would like that someone could share with me some knowledge about mapserver and its use in context-based applications. Can anyone point me some existing applications? 
Thanks
