creating a new class in the mapfile from the url

[Fawcett, David]

Kris, 
 
As far as I know, this won't create a new class for you.  
 
It will modify the first class in the list of existing classes in your layer.  
 
The text at the bottom of the page referring to creating a new feature likely means that you can create a new point/line/poly feature.  As opposed to loading the features from a shapefile or other datasource.  This doesn't refer to creating a new mapfile object.  
 
David.

	Hello all,
	       I was trying to use the mapsever feature of adding/creating a new feature in the mapfile. I am trying to create a new class and add the color properties for the mapfile from the url.
	 
	This feature is listed in the mapsever website @ http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/cgi/controls
	 
	the syntax for creating a new class is map_layername_class_0=new and the url for adding color property would be 
	 
	http://localhost/mapserv.exe?MODE=map&MAP=test.map&LAYERS=states& <http://localhost/mapserv.exe?MODE=map&MAP=test.map&LAYERS=states&map_states_class_0=new&map_states_class_0_color=100> map_states_class_0=new&map_states_class_0_color=100 100 100
	 
	i guess this should work, it didnt give me any error but doesnt display anything, i have tried some other possibilities too, but couldnt get it working.
	 
	Does any one have an idea how to do it ..
	 
	Thanks for your time ...
	kris
