[mapserver-users] A problem with the Run-time substitution

[Burgholzer, Robert (DEQ)]

By includiong the single quotes in the PROCESING directive, doesn't that make your input evaluated as a string?  You example suggests that mapserver considers single quotes around the input to be bad and rejects it - but by putting single quotes in PROCESSING it should avoid that.

What does the expression look like when you tried to syntax I suggested?

Thank you, but this doesn't work for me. The problem is that I want to pass a string value to my database, but the MapServer doesn't allow that and always passes the parameters value as an integer.
