The short answer is no.
The longer answer is $_SESSION is a php variable and it only exist while
php is executing. When you call mapserver cgi, it is not running in the
php environment. and if you use it in a template, there is not for
mapserver to tell the webserver that it needs to run php processor over
the results of the out of mapserver, ie. the processed template.
If you really need to do this you might be able convert the info you
need into cookie or change you mapserver request to include the info you
need on its url than then use url substitution.
Or you might develop you application in php/mapscript where it will run
in the php environment.
It might help more to explain why you think you need to do this, and
people might be able to offer other ways to do something similar.

Hi mapserver-users,
I would like to use a $_SESSION variable in a mapfile FILTER statement.
I have tried variations of:
(in calling HTML template):
<input type="hidden" name="myvar" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['user']; ?>">
(in mapfile):
FILTER "WHERE site_last_survey_who = '%myvar%'"
but I can't get it to work - in this case the browser displays the WEB
ERROR "errors.html" webpage and mapserver puts the following error in
mapserver.log:
msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'pts'.
msOGRFileNextShape(): OGR error. Syntax error, 2 extra tokens
Is it possible to do what I want? (BTW CGI mapserver v5.2)
Thanks,
Greg.
