[mapserver-users] attributes from *.dbf file

[Alexander Shostko]

Dear mapserver users!

Thanks in advance for the help!

If there are a attributes defined for each shape in *.dbf file, 
let's say STATE and LEVEL. State is a string and level is an 
integer.  I need to use it from the map file to set the color. 
Is it sufficient to use the expression , for ezample:

CLASS
  EXPRESSION ([STATE] = “Alaska” and [LEVEL] > 3 and [LEVEL] < 
6 )
  COLOR 255 0 0
END
CLASS
  EXPRESSION ([STATE] = “Virginia” and [LEVEL]  > 6 and [LEVEL] 
< 9 )
  COLOR 0 255 0 
END

Well, I tried , it does not do anything. But even if it does, 
does it set the color for each shape in the layer? (Not sure)

Thanks a lot
