Hi Aileen,
by 'passing a variable from php to a map file' you
mean writing some parameters to the mapfile before usage (like database
connetions parameters) or modifying the mapfile object on the fly
to imediat usage?
To write parameters you can use the install script
function, change your mapfile extension to .map.in and add the
variables replacement tags @YOUR_VARIABLE@ where they are needed. After
that set a configuration file containing the variable replacement
values. Then you just need to do a cw3setup.php --install
--config-from-file path_to_and_name_of_the_config_file
If you need to modify the mapfile object on the fly,
you can have a look at the plugin Outline, in ServerOutline.php
$msMapObj = $this->serverContext->getMapObj();
this will get you the map object
there are some exemple of usage in ServerOutline.php
to access, create, modify and remove elements (layers, style,
class, ... )
Regards
Oliver
Hi,
We are having trouble passing a variable
from php to a map file.
How do you declare this in
php?
How do you catch this in the map
file?
We want to pass the "source_id" &
"target_id" to the mapfile?
we are still on the R&D stage and we
are trying to customize the demoPlugin but with our data?
Any help will be much
appreciated.
Aileen
