Hi Matt,
Thank you very much. I am using mapserver as a CGI. Chaing projection works when there is only one parameter about projection. For example, &map_projection="proj=latlong" works, but when change map projection as following:

 PROJECTION
   "proj=lcc"
   "lat_0=0"
   "lat_1=20"
   "lat_2=60"
   "lon_0=-96"
   "k_0=1"
 END

I don't know how to put all of the parameters in the URL. I tried &map_projection="proj=lcc lat_0=0 lat_1=20.....".

Ning,

Are you using mapserver as a CGI or via mapscript? Using mapscript
might be more flexible for this kind of task. If you're using the CGI,
it's possible to change mapfile parameters via URL:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/cgi/controls
and scroll down to "Changing map file parameters via a form or a URL"

I haven't tried this out so you may need to adjust it but you could
try &map_projection="proj=latlong" .

Also, keep in mind that you'll have to adjust the extents of the image
since that will change with the projection.

Anybody know is it possible with mapserver?
Thanks a lot.
