[mapserver-users] mapfile text modification via URL

[Paco Regodón]

Hello all,

I'm having difficulties changing mapfile trough url with mapserver 5.6.5.

This is my layer:

     LAYER
                 NAME test
                 STATUS DEFAULT
                 LABELCACHE OFF
                 TRANSFORM FALSE
                 TYPE ANNOTATION
                 FEATURE
                         POINTS 300 300  END
                 END

                 CLASS
                         TEXT 'test'
                         COLOR -1 -1 -1
                         LABEL
                                 COLOR 000 000 000
                                 OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
                                 SIZE MEDIUM
                         END
                 END
         END

This is my query:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=map&map=test.map&map.layer[test].class[0]=text+'hello'

...And this is my error message:   :-)

[Tue Aug 24 12:43:43 2010].949611 msValidateParameter(): Regular 
expression error. Parameter pattern validation failed.
[Tue Aug 24 12:43:43 2010].949665 loadClass(): General error message. 
URL-based TEXT configuration failed pattern validation.


I found RFC 44 (http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-44.html) and 
bug #2971 (http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2971).
I have tried adding a VALIDATION block to my layer:

         VALIDATION
                 text '^[a-zA-Z\-]+$'
         END

Now, i'm getting this different error message:

[Tue Aug 24 12:41:52 2010].243629 loadHashTable(): Unknown identifier. 
Parsing error near (text):(line 36)
[Tue Aug 24 12:41:52 2010].243675 msFreeMap(): freeing map at 0x690420.


How do you change text through url?

Thanks,

Paco Regodón
