[mapserver-users] Including a title on a map?

[Fawcett, David]

If you want to allow the title string to be passed through the URL, you can use URL Configuration changes to pass the text in.  
 
Take a look at this document (if you are using MapServer 5.x): http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/browser/branches/branch-5-0/mapserver/MIGRATION_GUIDE.TXT
 
Scroll down to the section on URL configuration changes.  Take a look at example 3.  I am not sure if you can pass in just the text, or if you will need to pass in the feature coords and the text.  
 
Combine this with the example that Jukka pointed you to and you should be set.
 
David.

	Perhaps you could see if this copyright layer document points to right direction?

		Aihe: [mapserver-users] Including a title on a map?
		
		
		Is it possible to print a title on a map? I would like to be able to send a variable on the URL containing a string to be used as a title to embed into the returned image in a particular location.
		 
		I am using Javascript to formulate a CGI request for a PDF output, using mode=map.
		 
		Many thanks,
		 
		Robert Sanson
