[mapserver-users] Problem with Variable Substitution for EXPRESSION

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Well, that’s not good is it. Hmmm… I ran a quick test here using this mapfile:

MAP
  NAME 'test'
  SIZE 450 600
  EXTENT 125000 4785000 788000 5489000

  IMAGETYPE PNG8

  LAYER
    VALIDATION
      'area' '^[-+]?[0-9]*\.?[0-9]+$'
    END
    NAME 'county'
    STATUS DEFAULT
    TYPE POLYGON
    DATA ' bdry_counpy2'
    CLASS
      EXPRESSION ([area] > %area%)
      STYLE COLOR 212 212 212 OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0 END
    END
  END
END

This is against 6.0 latest trunk although I don’t think there have been any changes in that area…

I can run something like:

mapserv -nh "QUERY_STRING=map=test.map&mode=map&area=500000000" > test.png

If ‘area’ parameter is provided as a non-double then the substitution isn’t done. I believe the substitution validation errors fail silently. This example works, how different is what you’re doing?

Thanks Steve.

Tried the following regular expression

"[-+]?[0-9]*\.?[0-9]+".

For which the internal server error is coming from Apache. No error logged in mapserver log.
"Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request."

Hi,

I need to compare one attribute from database table in "EXPRESSION" (under "LAYER") with six different values passed as Variable Substitution  for coloring the layer.

I did added validation for those variables in the map file, but for some reason I am getting the below error.

msValidateParameter(): Regular expression error. Parameter pattern validation failed.
msEvalRegex(): Regular expression error. String failed expression test.
msValidateParameter(): Regular expression error. Parameter pattern validation failed.

Could anyone help me with where I am wrong? Below is the map file content for this layer.

All the six variables would be numbers (may be a decimal number), Is my regular expression correct?

WEB
   VALIDATION
      value_one     "^[\d+(\.\d)]*$"
      value_two     "^[\d+(\.\d)]*$"
      value_three   "[^\d+(\.\d)]*$"
      value_four    "[^\d+(\.\d)]*$"
      value_five    "[^\d+(\.\d)]*$"
      value_six     "[^\d+(\.\d)]*$"
   END
END
