[maplab-users] About the join object

[Radim Machu]

Dear list-users,


I watched user-list archive for threads dealing with JOIN object (I
copy this message also also to those who discussed this topic),
because I tested to use JOIN with Mapserver4, MapLab4 with NO success.

My results are following:
map file:
     JOIN
        NAME "dbSites"
        TYPE SINGLE
        TABLE "c:/ms4w/apps/maplab20/tutorial/wwf_data/dbsites.dbf"
        FROM "LINK"
        TO "LINK"
      END
--------
 error message in MapServer 4

loadClass(): Unknown identifier. (JOIN):(156)
--------
 error message in MapLab 4:
 
Warning: [MapServer Error]: loadClass(): Parsing error near
(JOIN):(line 205) in
C:\ms4w\apps\maplab20\htdocs\common\wrapper\map_session.php on line
208

Warning: Failed to open map file c:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp//3fcc6bd2aec50.map
in C:\ms4w\apps\maplab20\htdocs\common\wrapper\map_session.php on line
208

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in
C:\ms4w\apps\maplab20\htdocs\common\wrapper\map_session.php on line
231
--------

Could anybody inform me about current status of JOIN object
implementation or what I did wrong?

Thanks,

Radim Machu
