[mapserver-users] Echo PHP in a query template?

[Bistrais, Bob]

Thanks everyone.  The original purpose was to do some error checking, and have little red comments (such as "invalid entry") on some fields based on an IF condition.  I'm finding another way to do it, which should work.

Definitely not something done in MapServer proper. However, I thought with Apache you could do some process chaining/filtering. You might look at the various Apache modules (mod_filter is one) and see if there's anything there.

Bob,
Not as coded.  The template file is read by mapserver, it then makes text substitutions (eg "[username]") , and sends the result to std out.  Then the web server sends it to the browser.  The web server does not do any interpreting of the PHP in this case.

What  did you want to do?

I am customizing a MapServer query template.  I'd like to echo back some PHP  code in the HTML template.  But the process seems to ignore the PHP part.  Here's a code example:

<!-- MapServer Template -->
<?
$test = "php test!";                         <----Set PHP variable
?>

<table>
<td align="left"><b>Your Name:</b></td></tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" id="username" value="[username]"/></td>
</tr>

<h3><? echo "test" ?></h3>                      <---Call PHP variable

</table>

-The PHP echo displays nothing

Is there a way to get this to work?
