[mapserver-users] hide .map contents

[Robert Sanson]

Hi Greg
 
Mapserver is correctly passing where conditions containing in-line variables to an external .ovf for me. I am using Mapserver 5.2 as in ms4w. My .ovf uses an ODBC datasource.
 
Here is part of a layer definition from my mapfile:
 
 LAYER
  NAME "main_gates"
  GROUP "FMS"
  CONNECTION "./main_gates.ovf"
  CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
  DATA "main_gates"
  FILTER "WHERE farm_id = '%farmid%'"

Hi mapservers-users,

Thanks Steve W, Pietro, and Andreas for your help!

I have got around some of the problem (MapServer error messages and 
MySQL passwords visible in browser View/Source) by moving the OGRVRT 
MySQL info from inline in the .map file into an external .ovf file 
(Pietro's >1024 characters problem seems right), but two problems remain.

1) I originally abandoned external .ovf file because I can't pass 
variables into it like I can when inline (eg can't do 
(s.site_num_previous_surveys >= %myvarn%) in external .ovf). Is there 
a way to use variables in .ovf file?

2) I am still getting an error in View/Source:
<br><!--getString(): Symbol definition error. Parsing error near 
(DD):(line 677)-->
I've tried finding this problem in SYMBOL-related commands in the 
.map file, but no luck. Any ideas?

(I can send .map file if that helps)

Thanks,
Greg Luker.
Australia.
