[mapserver-users] How to draw a specific image per point element?

[Steve Lime]

You could bind the symbol to the photo_path item:

  CLASS
     STYLE
       SYMBOL [photo_path]
     END
  END

Assuming the file pointed to by photo path is usable by MapServer as a marker (e.g. a gif or png) then
this might work nicely. You wouldn't need the various classes in this scenario.
