Hmmmm... The MapServer mapfile parser will probably choke on /'s. You have a 
couple of options:

Use a wildcard (tweak as necessary):

FILTERITEM "year"
FILTER /^[0-9]{1,2}.[0-9]{1,2}.[0-9]{4}$/

Use a logical expression (assumes version 6.x):

FILTER ("[year]" ~ "^[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{4}$")

Subject: [mapserver-users] Filter by date

Hello List

How would I FILTER a data set by the month and year ignoring the day.  An 
example of the field format is 1/11/2010.  I found the example below in the 
docs but I'm not quite sure how to format the filter to account for the 
slashes.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

FILTERITEM "year"
FILTER /^20[0-9][0-9]/


Thanks,
Eric
