[mapserver-users] ICON Placing co-ordinates.....

[Robert Sanson]

I am having some trouble too. I want to pass in the x y as variables. Here is the section in my map file:
 
 LAYER
  NAME 'gps_point'
  STATUS DEFAULT
  TYPE POINT
  FEATURE
    # This is where you specify position on the map
    POINTS %gpsx% %gpsy% END
  END
  CLASS
    STYLE
      SYMBOL "marker"
    END
  END
 END
 
Here is the section in my symbols.sym, file:
 
#21
SYMBOL
  NAME "marker"
  TYPE PIXMAP
  IMAGE "marker.png"
  #TRANSPARENT 8
END
 
and here is my mapserver URL:
 
http://10.65.192.1/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?gpsx=1748411.13985&gpsy=5427898.99793&mode=map&layers=linz_orthos+crs_parcels+gps_point&MINX=1747411.13985&MINY=5426898.99793&MAXX=1749411.13985&MAXY=5428898.99793&mapsize=1200+1200 

Unfortunately I get an error: 
 
loadFeaturePoints(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near (%gpsx%):(line 727) 
 
How can I pass in the x y?
 
Many thanks,
 
Robert Sanson

You'd use the icon as a symbol like so:

LAYER
  NAME 'TheIcon'
  STATUS DEFAULT
  TYPE POINT
  FEATURE
    # This is where you specify position on the map
    POINTS x y END
  END
  CLASS
    STYLE
      SYMBOL "2.gif"
    END
  END
END
