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

Hi Albrecht,

you can run the script like:

php -d safe_mode=off /data/geoservices/scripts/applysldurl.php
/data/OGC_UMN_services/kerngisnat_utre.map http://145.50.148.45/nu.sld
~bart/kgnat_svn2/services/kerngisnat_utre.map.new

Make sure the paths to your input and output MAP file are absolute, and
read the SLD from a webserver.

Btw, Mapserver matches the NamedLayers from the SLD to the NAME of the
LAYER in the MAP file, so they have to be the same for it to work
properly.

This will generate CLASSes for your layers in the MAP file.

Best regards,
Bart
