PHP Highlight list of Parcels Passed In

[Abe Gillespie]

If you go to:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/mapfile-reference.html

And either search the page (if you don't know where to look) or click
on the Map Object link you'll see that QUERYMAP is a child of MAP.  So
what you need is something like:

MAP
  ...
  QUERYMAP
   COLOR 255 0 0
   STYLE hilite
  END

  LAYER
   NAME "selected_parcels"
   ...
  END
END
