[mapserver-users] record element in query header

[Steve.Toutant at inspq.qc.ca]

Jeff, the DATA of this layer is a postgis view and the field is really 
[provincename].

If I put [provincename] in the template I got the value, per example
In the Template
[lrn]: [provincename] - [elementname]<br>

The result is:
1: Québec - blabla 1
2: Québec - blabla 2
3: Québec - blabla 3

But I don't want to put it in the template since the same information will 
be repeated.
thanks for your help!
Steve

Steve,

You should be careful of string case.  You should verify the case by 
using ogrinfo with the -summary switch to see what the correct name is:

    ogrinfo quebec.shp quebec -summary

The result may be [PROVINCENAME].
