[Mapserver-users] 4.0 DATA Keyword / CGI variable

[Michael Schulz]

Hi,

the method for changing DATA and TEMPLATE values of the map-file through
CGI has changed, it is now done via a DATAPATTERN regular expression.

Information can be found in the wiki:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?MigrationGuide and in the
mentioned posting
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/data2/wilma/mapserver-users/0302/msg00795.html

HTH, Michael
