hi folks,

<br>

i've used the mapserver cgi for about 4 years, and only started using mapscript recently.  although i managed to grab some points from a mysql table and throw them on top of a map (along with labels from the same table), i have no idea how to save that query for subsequent zooming in / out / panning or trying to do an nquery.

<br>

what i did was to cobble together the mapscript call to mysql and draw new objects then put them into the old CGI template along with JBOX.   needless to say, I can draw the first map with my points retreived from mysql, but if i click on the map to zoom or query the database points are lost.

<br>

there must be a sort of mapscript - integrated way of doing this, isn't there?  can anyone help me to get to the next step?   what i am hoping to do somehow is to be able to query both the items from mysql points layer and the shapefiles called from the mapfile at the same time, or if that is impossible then at least to preserve and to SEE the layer from the database for reference purposes while being able to browse and query the shapefiles in the mapserver.
