polygon points from shapefile

[Till Adams]

Joerg,

I have absolutely no experience with phpmapscript, as I use UMN mainly 
as WMS/WFS.

there are more possibioities: Use the commande

DUMP TRUE
to enable download of the data as GML, but I'm not sure if UMN just 
gives the actual extent back

-- or --

store the data in a postgis database, create a template, where you pass 
the extent
of the actual mapwindow to an internal iframe or sth. similar and then 
query the database with sth. like

SELECt [*] FROM [datatable] WHERE WITHIN // TOUCHES // [...] 
GEOMETRYFROMTEXT(minx,miny,maxx,maxy)

Check the correct syntax on the postgis page.

Cheers, Till
