[mapserver-users] Itemquery in Mapscript(PHP)

Fri Aug 31 22:00:40 PDT 2001

John,

Is this the only layer in your mapfile ? if yes it must show nothing at the
first time.

Have you tried a regex expression like /./  does it show somethig ? It show
all in my case...

I ve tested and it  work fine for me with OGR but in this case I have to
protect non regex $value with " "
eg :
$class->setExpression($value); -->  $class->setExpression("\"$value\"");
or directly in the search text box .

What is strange is that it did not zoom to the object ??? why ?

Your error look like more a problem with your mapinfo tables. Are you sure
that  your VA_CNTY.dat (for the data) exist and is not corrupted. I check my
mapinfo files with mapinfo proviewer before using them in mapserver.

My BDF.* mapinfo files comme from mapinfo 4.5 with a column named ID
My layer in map file  for OGR and mapinfo file is :
LAYER
  NAME BDF
  TYPE POLYGON
  STATUS ON
  CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
  CONNECTION "D:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache\htdocs\dev\montdore\BDF.tab"
  CLASSITEM "ID"
  CLASS
   NAME "ID"
  END
END # layer

Bon courage
