<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm looking at MapServer to accomplish the
following tasks:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 1. Query a shape file off
an attribute && a spatial distance - i.e. select * from shapefile
where coordinates are within 500 units of (select coordiantes from
shapefile where id = 'user entered id' )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 2. Genearate a new map
based on the results of 1. Displaying the new map on the web with the
polygon of 'user entered id' in the colored in the middle of the map and all
other polygons selected in 1 displayed (zoom and pan features)
</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is basically polygon outline map - with one
polygon highlighed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Generate and display Map -- the map is now an
image map on the web.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. User sees the new map, and they
click on a another polygon -- resolve the polygon's id and call another url
with that id, i.e redirect page to
www/cgi-bin/get_table?id=clicked_id.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Questions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can this be accomplished with
mapserver?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is this a mapserver or mapscript type of
application (there are two distinct applications here)?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any example sites/code would be greatly
appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for your help.</FONT></DIV>
