[mapserver-users] Spatial queries to Mapserver

[Ben Madin]

Thanks Dan,

Could you elaborate on this - there are a username and password on the  
database layer for select only for web user, but I scrubbed them from  
my post - which was remiss of me but I was in a hurry.

However, is there a way in MapServer to "clean" the parameters that I  
have used - I could imagine a startdate like 12';DELETE from  
movements; is what you mean by sql injection?

cheers

Ben
