[mapserver-users] Can't figure out queries with Mapscript.

Well, I'm sure I'm missing something simple here because I see other
people making queries work, but I simply can't figure it out.

I am using Mapserver 3.6.1 and PHP 4.0.6 on Redhat 7.1.  PHP is
running as a CGI (thanks to David Norris for help with that).

The only way I can see to make use of the results of a query, is to
create a template that contains some PHP code which I can then
evaluate.  To test things out, I created a simple template called
county.php which contains the following lines:

<?

$county = "[COUNTY]";
$state = "[STATE]";
echo "$county\n$state\n";

?>

(COUNTY and STATE are fields in the dbf file.)
In my map file, I have tried adding a

TEMPLATE "county.php"

line in the CLASS definition I'm querying.  (I have also tried using
the full path to county.php.)  When I call processQueryTemplate(), it
returns nothing.  So I tried moving the TEMPLATE line into the LAYER
definition, but that didn't work either.  The layer gets queried,
because the county I click is highlited in the query map.  Of course,
I realize that the data which processQueryTemplate() returns will need
to be parsed by PHP in order for the variables to be set, but I can't
get the function to return anything at all.

I found a message in the list archives that said that TEMPLATE defs
needed to be contained inside QUERY defs.  Like this

QUERY
	TEMPLATE dummy
END

I tried that in both the LAYER and CLASS sections, but either way
Mapscript gives a fatal error parsing the map file.

Am I going about this all wrong?  Even if this isn't the way to get
the query data, why can't I get templates to work?

One other thing: I had METADATA definitions in my LAYER sections that
looked like this

METADATA
	title "My Layer Title"
END

I was using these to define layer titles that Mapscript could use, and
it was working with Mapserver 3.5.  In 3.6.1, I had to comment all of
the defs out, because it wouldn't parse the map file.  Can anyone tell
me why?

I would really appreciate any help with these problems (especially the
querying problems).  I have included my map file and my php script
below.  They are both terrible messes because I've been using them to
get a feel for Mapscript.

Thanks,
Ben
