[Cartoweb-users] PHP in mapfile

[Yves Bolognini]

Hi Yves,

PHP mapfiles in CartoWeb are linked to the concept of "auto layers" (see
http://cartoweb.org/doc/cw3.2/xhtml/user.layers.html ).

To do what you want, you will need to rename your mapfile with
extension .map.php instead of .map. 

Regards,
Yves B.
