[mapserver-users] Querying an external database

[Alessandro Cadeddu]

Hi all,

I'd like to build an application which allow the user to query an external database, for example querying the attribute table in MySQl or Access
database, and gets a list of ID. Then I need to query the shapefile to highlight all the returned ID.

How can I do this?
How can I link the returned ID from the external database with the shapefile ID?
How can I query the shapefile and highlight the results in PHP/MapScript ?
Can anyone send me an example?


Thanks very much
