The string 'text' is a reserved word and seems to be being recognized that way by the parser.

Subject: [mapserver-users] mapfile text modification via URL

Hello all,

I'm having difficulties changing mapfile trough url with mapserver 5.6.5.

This is my layer:

    LAYER
                NAME test
                STATUS DEFAULT
                LABELCACHE OFF
                TRANSFORM FALSE
                TYPE ANNOTATION
                FEATURE
                        POINTS 300 300  END
                END

                CLASS
                        TEXT 'test'
                        COLOR -1 -1 -1
                        LABEL
                                COLOR 000 000 000
                                OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
                                SIZE MEDIUM
                        END
                END
        END

This is my query:

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=map&map=test.map&map.layer">http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=map&map=test.map&map.layer</a>[test].class[0]=text+'hello'

...And this is my error message:   :-)

[Tue Aug 24 12:43:43 2010].949611 msValidateParameter(): Regular expression error. Parameter pattern validation failed.
[Tue Aug 24 12:43:43 2010].949665 loadClass(): General error message. URL-based TEXT configuration failed pattern validation.


I found RFC 44 (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-44.html">http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-44.html</a>) and bug #2971 (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2971">http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2971</a>).
I have tried adding a VALIDATION block to my layer:

        VALIDATION
                text '^[a-zA-Z\-]+$'
        END

Now, i'm getting this different error message:

[Tue Aug 24 12:41:52 2010].243629 loadHashTable(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near (text):(line 36)
[Tue Aug 24 12:41:52 2010].243675 msFreeMap(): freeing map at 0x690420.


How do you change text through url?

Thanks,

Paco Regodón
