color:blue'>I am not 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 style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<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>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
