[mapserver-users] Is there a way of getting existing settings from a mapfile via CGI?

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

All,

I have a thought on populating a FORM with the results of a “MapFile SETTINGS” query.  The end game being a  method for users to change current settings on the fly.

Could I need to build a generic template for this, or would all exceptions need to be handled, like missing values, etc?  What happens if something doesn’t exist as a setting in the return . .

Just thinking out loud.

Using mostly WMS/WFS calls to MapServer right now, so I could possibly go the SLD route, but, other thoughts?
