[mapserver-users] Filename

[Jason Spangler]

Thanks pk, but unfortunately, I'm not to hip on the perl yet.  Is there a variable you can pass in the querystring that identifies the filename?

Thanks,
Jason

very easy to do with Perl/Mapscript. It might be hardcoded into the PHP/Mapscript methods.

here's how in Perl

my $appurl = "url/to/my/app/";
my $tmpdir = "path/to/my/tmp/";
my $mapimgname = $whateveriwant . time() . ".png";  # time() makes it unique, .png adds the extension
my $imgObj = $mapObj->draw();
mapscript::msSaveImage($imgObj, $tmpdir . $mapimgname, 2, $mapObj->{interlace}, $mapObj->{transparent}, 95); 
my $mapurl = $appurl . "tmp/" . $mapimgname;

pk/

I'm sure I'm overlooking something, but is it possible to change the name of the tmp map image file name?

I would like to add different variables to the beginning of the filename at different times of the day.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason
