Changing layer parameters via CGI with underscore in name

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi There,

  If you are using 5.0, you could try something like :
   map.layer[dfirm_main].class[0].style[0]=COLOR 255 0 0

  You can also check RFC 31 for examples on this : 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-31

Best Regards,
