Robert,

I haven't played much with querymaps and I'm not sure what's the best
way to do what you ask, I don't think there is a direct way to "zoom to
selected objects", but I may be wrong.  

I guess one possibility would be using the shapeFileObj to open your
layer, and read the extent (getExtent(i)) of all selected objects... and
then use that to set the map extent.  Requires a bit of coding, but that
would work... 

Hopefully someone on the MapServer list will know a more straightforward
method (using either Perl or PHP).

Good Luck!
