Querying and labeling a WFS layer in Ma pserver WFS client

[Eijnden, B. van den (Bart)]

Hi,

I think it *should* be supported since a WFS client LAYER is nothing else
than a shapefile layer, the only difference is the source is GML which is
read through OGR.

The second example you try is not valid, the function is only supported for
WMS client layers.

To be on the safe side, can you check a queryByRect?

Best regards,
Bart

DUMP TRUE is there, and a 'dummy' TEMPLATE also, TOLERANCE set to 10

I tried two much simpler examples in php-mapscript now:

$queryObj = $map->queryByPoint( $ptClicked,MS_SINGLE,-1 );
produces:
Warning: [MapServer Error]: msQueryByPoint(): No matching record(s) found.
in...


while

$queryObj = $resultlayer->getWMSFeatureInfoURL($georef_x, $georef_y,
100, "MIME");
produces:
Warning: [MapServer Error]: msBuildWMSLayerURL(): Call supported only
for CONNECTIONTYPE WMS....

which leads me to a fundamental question whether Mapserver (or
php-mapscript) supports querying WFS layers at all?
