[Mapserver-users] Can't set the status of a layer to be on.

[Eric Bridger]

I don't use cgi mapserver much, but I believe you need to have a query string telling mapserver to turn
the layers ON, e.g. ?layers=counties+States+interstate+river or
?layer=counties&layer=States&layer=interstate&layer=river

You need to construct your form so that layers or layer appears in the form's query string.
