[Geomoose-users] Identify not working

Wed Sep 19 12:42:13 PDT 2012

Hi all,

I was able to get parcels identification working, but my layer still
doesn't work. When enabling debug messages in identify.php, I get the
followint output:
"Notice: Undefined index: wms_header in /path/php/identify.php on line 116
Warning: file(): Filename cannot be empty in /path/php/identify.php on line 116
Warning: implode(): Invalid arguments passed in /path/php/identify.php
on line 116
Notice: Undefined index: wms_record in /path/php/identify.php on line 117

Notice: Undefined index: wms_footer in /path/php/identify.php on line 118
Warning: file(): Filename cannot be empty in /path/php/identify.php on line 118
Warning: implode(): Invalid arguments passed in /path/php/identify.php
on line 118
Warning: mapObj::queryByPoint(): [MapServer Error]: msQueryByPoint():
No matching record(s) found.
 in /path/php/identify.php on line 170"

When turning off the debug mode, I get the same output as mentioned
before: just coordinates of the point.

Thanks for any ideas,
Matej
