answering your question - sorry. Instead I have questions for
you. Will Google allow using their maps as a WMS? Did you get
special permission for this? Everything I have read says this is not
allowed from the Google side. I am asking because we would really like to
use Google as a background for our web app also and if this is a new development
then we would be interested in doing it also. Thanks.</SPAN><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB>I’m using mapserver to overlay png tiles
over a google maps interface and it’s working well. I have a series of shp files
on the server and I want to build a search interface so the user can query the
actual data. An example would be in simple terms: ‘select all data from shp
where layer = ‘thislayer’ and field like ‘%castle%’’.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB>Is it possible to interpret a variable if I
sent it via the Url with the WMS call? For example, I’ll tag on
&TestVar=castle to the WMS call. Can the map file be set up to interpret
TestVar and perform a query against a shp file field in a given
layer?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
