Re: [mapserver-users] Leading zeros removed from variabel whenpassed to map file
Thanks for posting your solution, might help another user. As I understand it you're quoting the variable on the way into MapServer, right? A simpler solution might be to just adjust your filter by placing quotes around replacement string, like so: FILTER placeref = '%ref_no%' That way PostGIS will interpret it as a string. Steve GGould graeme.go...@grandunionhousing.co.uk 12/08/09 5:15 AM Hi Solved the problem by adding quote marks at the beginning and end of each ref_no so that the variable is seem by the map file as a string rather than an integer. Graeme GGould wrote: Hi Im just starting out with MapServer and have a bit of a stumbling block.

Has anyone come across this before and is there a solution that hopefully wont tax my brain too much.

Re: [mapserver-users] Leading zeros removed from variabel whenpassed to map file
Yes correct. I added the quotes where I populate the variable - so its in the asp. I think I tried your method but couldnt get it to work - will have to have another attempt.
