Changing the presentation style using a CGI parameter is broken for layer names which contain spaces or underscores. For example, the below works fine:
...&map.layer[lakes].class[0].style[0]=...
but both of these:
...&map.layer[all lakes].class[0].style[0]=...
...&map.layer[all_lakes].class[0].style[0]=...
cause the error:
getSymbol(): Symbol definition error. Parsing error near ([):(line 1)
The reason is that spaces and underscores are not considered part of an MS_STRING as parsed by msyylex(). Changing the definition of MS_STRING In maplexer.l from:
<URL_VARIABLE>\[[a-z/\.][a-z0-9/\.\-\=]*\]
to:
<URL_VARIABLE>\[[a-z/\.][a-z0-9/\.\-\=_ ]*\]
fixes the problem. I'm not sure if there are any ill side effects of considering a space or underscore inside a pair of square brackets to be part of a MS_STRING.
A diff is attached.
