[OpenLayers-Users] Pass parameters to mapfile

[S.Reena]

Hi,

One issue remains still ..

"http://gis.rtbi-iitm.in/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/customisation/map
file/customNR.map&userid=2"

is working ok with

DATA "the_geom from ( select * from customised_poly AS f where f.subcat_id
IN (select subcat_id from subcat_info where maincat_id =0) AND
user_id='%userid%' )AS foo1 USING UNIQUE gid"

but is I want to pass a dynamic value( a variable user_id) instead of a
number ( in this case 2) then its not happening .

I am still trying with wms[5].mergeNewParams({userid:user_id}) but its not
working yet  


Thanks,
Reena.
