<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Hi,<br>
<br>
Where can I find more information about the queryByAttributes() function? I
found <a href="http://mapserver.org/mapscript/php/index.html#layerobj-class">http://mapserver.org/mapscript/php/index.html#layerobj-class</a>
, but it is not very detailed. By trial and error I found that for a PostGIS
layer, I should use this syntax:<br>
<br>
</span></font><font face="Courier New"><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>layer.queryByAttributes(map,
null, "myfield='searchValue'", mapscript.MS_MULTIPLE);</span></font><br>
<br>
but for shapefiles, it seems it should be:<br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New"><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>layer.queryByAttributes(map,
"myfield", "searchValue", mapscript.MS_MULTIPLE);</span></font><br>
<br>
I am trying to write some generic code, but that's hard if there is no single
way to call this method. Also, I haven't found a way yet to do a partial match
on a shapefile (PostGIS supports 'LIKE')<br>
<br>
