  Greetings,

  I started using mapsever for about a month. After all the work to
install the program, I started using it, first using the mapserv cgi,
but now I am much more interested in the php/mapscript version.
  Now I am facing a problem. I downloaded that gmap demo to teste my
installation. I tested it, it's ok. Then I started to use that as a
model to build my own application. But I found that demo way too
complicated, so I started from the demos in the mapserver installation
(test_draw_legend_icon I guess).
  I was starting to build the query part of my application, so I
searched in the web for a model, no success, so I tried to understand
how the gmap query works.
  Now comes the question: The gmap query apparently works with the
getWMSFeatureURL function (I'm not sure about this, correct me if I'm
wrong, please!!). I searched in the web again, this time looking for
"what is WMS?". No success again. So I ask you guys, can you explain
this for me?
  Another question: I don't know if my shape, map or whatever is WMS,
how do I know this?
  And another question: Is there a query model in the web? Like that
legend model in the mapserver wiki?
  Thanks,
    Murilo
