Hi

So you are positive that the binary 3.6 and the binary 4.0
were compiled with the exact same version of regex? I did
not think it would compile, so thats it for my input, good
luck.

anyway i'll post a clip of my itemquery that works for me;

<!--  search form -->
<form method="get"
action="http://192.168.xx.xx/cgi-bin/mapserv";>
<input type="hidden" name="map"
value="/var/www/html/gis/maps/my-map.map">
<input type="hidden" name="mapext" value="shapes">
<input type="hidden" name="savequery" value="true">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="itemquery">
<input type="hidden" name="qlayer" value="my-shape-file">
<input type="hidden" name="qitem" value="my column name">
<input type="TEXT" size="30" name="qstring" value="">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>
<!-- /search form -->


Cheers
Randy
