<DIV>Hi Daniel,<BR>><BR>> I don't think there is any way to get the "real"
shapeindex unless you <BR>> have an id field in the data itself. You could
file a ticket about this, <BR>> but for some data sources, such as Postgis,
Oracle Spatial, and many OGR <BR>> ones, there is no concept of absolute
record id, so if something was <BR>> added, it would very likely work only
for shapefiles<BR>><BR><BR>in the older ms versions I got with
$result->shapeindex an absolute record <BR>id for all data sources (postgis,
OGR, shapefiles).<BR>what ids were used before by default e.g. for postgis
data?<BR>why this concept has changed in the new version
5.6?<BR>Thanx<BR>Sven</DIV></BODY></HTML>
