Hi Heiko: Two things:
1) There's an error in your URL. The syntax should be something like:
map.layer[psc]=FILTER+'orbitnr=6758'
but you'd need to escape the ' and = characters in the URL.
2) Setting extra vars in OpenLayers is easy. Something like this would
work:
myLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.MapServer(
'stuff',
'http://some.site.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/some/mapfile.map',
{ layers:'stuff', map_transparent: 'true',
somevar: 'somevalue',
},
{ ratio:1, singleTile:true, transitionEffect:'resize',
isBaseLayer:false }
);
You can then modify the content of the 'somevar' variable. With code
like:
myLayer.params.somevar = 'somenewvalue';
This will tag somevar=somenewvalue onto the URL passed to MapServer.

Hello,
the error seems to remain in mapserver 5.4:

loadLayer(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near (orbitnr=6758):(line
1)
Mapfile as below. The map is ok without the 'map.layer[]...' stuff.
Does a kind soul knows howto do the runtime substitution from within
OpenLayer
(i know it is not the 100% correct list, but maybe someone has hit this
before).
