Could you give us an example of a URL that does NOT work for you?

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] MapServer CGI : Url encoding of negative values for mapext parameter ?

Hi, a simple question this time :

I'm generating 36x18 ten degrees squares maps with (UMN genuine) MapServer, using php to generate <img src=" MapServer cgi calls. So i use the cgi variable mapext=. Example of sch an url :

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserver.exe?mode=map&map=my_path_to_mapfile.map&mapext=10+40+20+50

But it's not working when negative values occurs, and since the spatial reference is lat/long wgs84, there are some negatives...

Anyone can help me to find the right url syntax for the mapext paramater ?
