[mapserver-users] Get current year in a CLASS EXPRESSION (mapfile)

[Michael Smith]

Well, the other option would be a regex on your date field. The specifics
on that will depend on what the default format is for your date field so
its much more fragile. If someone changes your date default, your regex
will no longer work properly.
