[mapserver-users] formatting in HTML templates

[David Hildebrand]

This may be slightly off the MapServer topic but my problem is related
to a MapServer implementation.

 

I am retrieving the date and time from the shapefile DBF of my layer in
the following format (yymmddhhmmss).  The string represents the UTC time
of satellite image acquisition.  I want to convert that to local time
and express it as a normal date string (e.g.: July 8, 2009 10:45:25 AM).
I'm thinking I can do that with PHP code embedded in the template.  I
know my server has PHP support but when I try to embed a simple 'Hello
world' in the template it seems to be ignored.  Would it be better
define a URL to the PHP code (in stead of a template) and then build the
entire HTML page dynamically?

 

Thanks.
