Hi, I am a newbie to MapServer. I'm now trying to use PHP/MapScript to query MapInfo Tab data. I've got some problems.
1. How to write Mapfile. I mean how I can get information needed. Are they contained in the orginal file or to be defined by the user? These information includes layer, type, feature and many other geographical info.
2. How to use PHP/MapScript to access MapInfo Tab data? Can I use OGR connection or php_ogr? which is better or powerful? Could somebody offer an example of it?
3. What about Template file? Is it still neccessary if PHP/MapScript is used?
Tons of thanks for answering questions.
Best regards,
Zhengda Lu
