It's really bad MS do not support native query in more than one field. This
behavior has not ever so. I developed at 2003 a like ArcView "Query Bulder"
based on Php and a complex javascript code using oMap->queryByAttribute()
function, but at version 3.7, MS no longer supports query multiple fields, so
my
querybuilder were lost.
