[mapserver-users] How do i define my SLD inside the mapfile?

[bartvde at osgis.nl]

No you can't use an SLD directly in a WMS server MAP file.

What I normally do is apply the SLD to the MAP file using a simple PHP
script:

#!/bin/sh
sudo -u apache php -f $0 $*; exit $?

<?php

if ($argc != 4) {
  echo "Usage: applysldurl.php <input MAP file> <SLD url> <output MAP
file>\n";
  echo "\n";
  echo "Applies the SLD url to the layers in the MAP file\n";
  echo "\n";
  exit(1);
}

$oMap = ms_newMapObj($argv[1]);
$oMap->applySLDURL($argv[2]);
$oMap->save($argv[3]);

echo "Output saved to $argv[3]\n";

?>

Best regards,
Bart
