[mapserver-dev] isValidItem is not aware of the OGR special attributes

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Sounds like the assumption that msLayerGetItems() returns all items is not true... &$%@! Intuitively I would have done something
like Alan suggests in the DATA statement with an alias and referred to the alias in the label item.

Pondering how to fix. Reverting to the 5.4 msLayerWhichItems() setup I guess...

The "isValidItem" addition seems to break more than that. The following oracle
labelitem field now fails in 5.6:
LABELITEM "PROJECT_NAME||'&'||MMI"

I let you imagine all the other possibilities we could have with all the
different DB engines.
