[mapserver-users] msEvalRegex problem (Mapserver 5.2.2)

[Dominik Schmid]

Hi Steve, hello Daniel

this was indeed the issue I encountered. Thanks very much for the fast  
reply. I'm now even able to run MS 5.4.0 final on our test system.

IMHO the suggested fix should make it into the 5.4.1 release. For the  
time being I will tweak our Fusion (1.06) Query.php. AFAIK the Fusion  
2.0 beta also uses "query.qry". I'm not aware of any other extensions  
out there.

Thanks, again and best regards
Dominik
