[mapserver-users] extents of the map, query in php mapscript

[E Perik]

Pushkar,

You might want to use shapechk.exe if you want to get the extents of a
shapefile.

Look for info at:
http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/mis/gis/tools/arcview/tipsheets/Tip5.html
And download shapechk.exe from:

Subject: [mapserver-users] extents of the map, query in php mapscript

Hi all,
I am trying to query my maps using php/mapscript. I am using the
function
GMapPix2Geo to convert the mouse coords. clicked to georef. coords.
However the conv. coordinates of the locn. clicked is different from
those
shown in arcview.
How do I choose the extent of the map, I searched the archives but
didn't
find any. Right now I go to arcview and put my mouse on the farthest
positions of the shapefile, and write down the values arcview displays
on
the top right.
Thanks,

-Pushkar S. Pradhan
