CGI SYMBOL control ignored

[bbrehmer]

All attempts to modify a symbol via CGI controls are ignored.

Reproduction instructions:

1. create a very simple mapfile which has a layer with a class and style in it:

.
..
...
LAYER
..
.

CLASS

STYLE
END

END

...
..
.

2. To verify that there is actually point data in the data source, try setting the color:

...&map.layer[0].class[0].style[0]=COLOR+151+151+151&....

-this should produce an image with one or more points in it

3. Create a URL which attempts to create/modify a symbol:

...&map.layer[0].CLASS[0].STYLE[0]=SYMBOL+'./blue_star.gif'&...

-this will produce a blank image without any errors (ie. the symbol is ignored)

4. Create a symbol in your mapfile and try using that through the URL:

SYMBOL

TYPE PIXMAP
NAME 'blue_star'
IMAGE ./blue_star.gif

END

...&map.layer[0].CLASS[0].STYLE[0]=SYMBOL+'blue_star'&...

-This will also create a blank image (ie. the symbol is ignored)

Mapserver was compiled with the following options:

MapServer version 5.0.3 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=FASTCGI INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

There is an original email (mapserver-users list) entitled 'CGI controls - Symbol' which is where this originated from.

Fixed in main trunk so this fix will be in 5.2.
