[mapserver-users] Multiple LabelItems from dropdown?

[Mark Abernathy]

Hi folks,
I have an airport layer with different classes of airports within it determined by a SYMBOL attribute in the shape file. I would like to be able to choose the Attribute to display at run time by feeding the labelitem i.e FAAID or Airport Name from a dropdown list box on my html form.  
In other words, I want the user to be able to diplay the Airport name if they want, or the FAA Id, etc... chosen from a dropdown. Can this be done? 

I haven't seen a question on this or an example of this in the archives. 

Does anyone have an example of doing this and what variable should I be passing to the map file and what is the syntax of that, please? Also, any suggestions on the coding of the html drop down? Thanks for any assistance.  Below is a snip of my map file.
