PHP Highlight list of Parcels Passed In

Sat Jan 22 22:44:52 PST 2005

Ok, since this list has been so helpful and generous to me in the past,
here is an exhaustive example.  I hope this will finally get you going.
  Disclaimer:  I'm doing this all from memory and w/o testing so there
may be a few errors.

Setup a map file like this:

MAP
  NAME "Parcel Query"
  STATUS on
  EXTENT xmin ymin xmax ymax
  SIZE 300 300
  SHAPEPATH "/data_path"
  IMAGETYPE png
  IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255

  QUERYMAP
   STYLE hilite
   COLOR 255 0 0
  END

  LAYER
   NAME "Parcels"
   DATA "parcels"
   CLASS
    OUTLINECOLOR 0 255 0
   END
   TEMPLATE "x"
  END
END

Setup a web page like this:

<html>
<head>
<?
$parcel_ids = "1|2|3|4|5";

if (PHP_OS == "WINNT" || PHP_OS == "WIN32")
        dl("php_mapscript.dll");
else
        dl("php_mapscript.so");

$map = ms_newMapObj("parcels.map");
$layer = $map->getLayerByName("parcels");

// Query.
$layer->queryByAttributes("", "/".$parcel_ids."/", MS_MULTIPLE);
// If you want to avoid errors when no matches are found use the
ampersand
// in the above statement like this:  @$layer->queryByAttributes();

// Render an image and get its URL.
$img = $map->drawQuery();
$url = $img->saveWebImage(MS_PNG, 1, 1, 0);
$img->free();
?>
</head>
<body>
<img src="<? echo $url; ?>" />
<?
if ($layer->getNumResults() > 0)
        echo $layer->getNumResults()." parcels found.";
else
        echo "No parcels found.";
?>
</body>
</html>

Now that I look at it, the last thing you may have been missing was the
mapObj::queryMap() method.  Anyhow, I hope this helps.
