Re: [mapserver-users] Compatibility between mapserver versions: nquery issue
I suspect this has happened for security reasons, so a malicious mapfile cannot have a template file point to say /etc/password and expose that to the web user. A lot of file extensions and file signatures are now checked for validity to make mapserver more secure. Feel free to write a bug against documentation to clarify this. -Steve W On 11/28/2012 3:17 AM, Arthur Delorme wrote: Indeed, even though I had php files, no php were found inside...

Hi Arthur, I do not believe executing php before or after a template has ever been possible because mapserver reads the temple from the disk so it would not be processed before mapserver gets it and mapserver sends it back to the client directly so php would never have a chance to intercept it. So I'm pretty sure this did not work in the past and will not work in the future. If you need computational smarts in the template, you should be looking at doing it in Javascript which executes after the template has been returned to the browser and runs in the browser not on the server.
