[mapserver-users] Regular expression error

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Your regex only allows for 1 character after ogc_fid. I'd rewrite as:

  '^ogc_fid=[0-9]{1,5}$'

This restricts the number a bit more, plus doesn't allow characters before or after. Really you could to:

   VALIDATION
     'ogc_fid'  '^[0-9]{1-5}$'
   END
   FILTER "ogc_fid=%ogc_fid%"

That's a lot cleaner.

If I don't have any key/value in the query string I get a whole bunch regular expression errors in the error log. In other words, just the presence of that layer in the map file is generating error. An actual value would look like
   ogr_fid=123456

Thanks,
Rich
