[mapserver-users] help passing runtime variables through cgi obfuscation script

[Brent Wood]

Hi,
I hope this makes sense...
I'm using simple shell CGI scripts to avoid passing the mapfile name in the service URL, eg:
http://..../cgi-bin/species       with the species CGI script containing: 
#!/bin/bash
export MS_MAPFILE=/usr/lib/cgi-bin/mapfiles/species_enhancedsearch.map
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/mapserv
I can use this approach to get the value of the variable passed in the URL:species_code=`echo "$QUERY_STRING" | sed -n 's/^.*species_code=\([^&]*\).*$/\1/p' | sed "s/%20/ /g"`

If I have a mapfile which uses runtime substitution to set a value in an SQL in the DATA statement:
... where c.species='%species_code%' ...
How do I pass this value to mapserver from the obfuscating script?

Thanks,
   Brent Wood
