Hi, Are you using WMS?In the document "WMS servers with MapServer" http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server reads: # Layer Name and wms_title metadata: Every individual layer needs its own unique name and title. Layer names are also used in GetMap and GetFeatureInfo requests to refer to layers that should be included in the map output and in the query. Layer names must start with a letter when setting up a WMS server (layer names should not start with a digit or have spaces in them).
I believe that spaces in layer names are not allowed by WMS standard, but I may be wrong. I do also believe that MapServer cgi supports them, at least I can find example map files with layers named like "my layer". -Jukka Rahkonen- > -----Alkuperäinen viesti----- > Lähettäjä: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Puolesta > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Lähetetty: 20. elokuuta 2008 8:40 > Vastaanottaja: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org > Aihe: [mapserver-users] Using space in layer's name? > > I'm using MapServer 5.0.2. > > I have two layers: the first is named "jaringan ipal dan > iplt" (layer name contains space character), while the second > is named "jaringan_telepon" (does not contain space). > > I am using the [layers] parameter to dynamically pass my > layers to another template for printing purpose.
