[Mapserver-users] Query of city name

[Steve Lime]

It's a multi step process:

 1) user types in a city name, that triggers an attribute query using
mapserver
 2) the query generates a list of matches (most likely in another
window or frame)
 3) clicking on a link generates a MapServer URL the respositions the
interface in the main window

I tend not to use MapServer for stuff like this since it is not as
full-featured as Postgres or MySQL. For
an example checkout http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/compass.html. Type
in 'linwood' and you'll
see how we do it anyway.

Hi!
There is city name in the dbf file. But how can i
query it? For example, a text box leave for user, if a
string is matched in dbf, then the position of this
city is set as the center of image.
Is it possible in mapserver's cgi command? or should i
setup postgis to query?
Thank you!!
