[Mapserver-users] setFilter expression error

[Armin Burger]

Nick,

this method has changed in MS 4:

You don't use any more the setFilter() and put everything into the
queryByAttributes() function. Should be something like

$countyLayer->queryByAttributes('NAME','leflore', $mapscript::MS_SINGLE);

(I believe the query item has to be in upper case for shapefiles and
without the brackets)

This way I think you cannot use any longer more than one query item.
