[mapserver-users] WMSgetFeatureInfo and variable substitution

[bartvde at osgis.nl]

Daniel is right.

Steve, I've opened up an OpenLayers bug [1]. In the meantime you can try
and use vendorParams on the GetFeatureInfo control, but you need to update
the property whenever your values change.

Further discussion can best be done on the OL mailing list.

[1] http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/2358

Best regards,
Bart
