[Mapserver-users] Setting the scale of the map

[Siki Zoltan]

Hi!
I try to create a html template where the user can set the scale of the 
map. I added a textbox to the template
<input type="text" name="scale" value="[scale]">
but i failed to set extension of the generated map.

Does the mapserver use scale cgi variable as input/output or output only?
What other cgi variables can i use to set a given scale? mapext? imgext?
Any idea to work around?

Thanx
