[Mapserver-users] Problems with querybypoint/phpmapscript

[Andreas Hirner]

Hello,

I am afraid if my question did not contain enough information. I was under 
the impression that the previous  mailings appended to this one contained 
all the necessary details.

However I was able to solve the problem on my own. The answer is quite 
simple: The status of the layer has to be set to "on" in order for 
queryByPoint()/queryByRect() to obtain any results.

Thanks

Andreas
