Hi,
Are you using WMS?In the document "WMS servers with
MapServer"
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server
reads:
#
Layer Name and wms_title metadata:
Every individual layer needs its own unique name and title.
Layer names are also used in GetMap and GetFeatureInfo
requests to refer to layers that should be included in the
map output and in the query. Layer names must start with a
letter when setting up a WMS server (layer names should not
start with a digit or have spaces in them).
I believe that spaces in layer names are not allowed by WMS
standard, but I may be wrong. I do also believe that
MapServer cgi supports them, at least I can find example map
files with layers named like "my layer".

Aihe: [mapserver-users] Using space in layer's
name?
I'm using MapServer 5.0.2.
I have two layers: the first is named "jaringan
ipal dan
iplt" (layer name contains space character),
while the second
is named "jaringan_telepon" (does not
contain space).
I am using the [layers] parameter to dynamically pass
my
layers to another template for printing purpose. Alas,
because one layer contains space, that particular
layer is
not passed at all. Here is the contents of the
[layers] parameter:
&layers=jaringan%20ipal%20dan%20iplt%20jaringan_telepon
The layer "jaringan_telepon" is displayed
correctly, but the
layer "jaringan ipal dan iplt" fails to
display, because
MapServer takes the space character (%20) as
delimiter.
I tried to use the parameter [layers_esc] instead, and
here
is the contents of the [layers_esc]:
&layers=jaringan+ipal+dan+iplt+jaringan%5Ftelepon
Here, the layer "jaringan ipal dan iplt"
still fails to
display, because MapServer replaces the space with
"+" (plus
sign), which is also used as delimiter.
Thus, not even [layers_esc] allows us to use space
character
in layer's name. Is there any other way to use
layer with
space character in its name, then?
Thanks,
