mapscript error

Wed Dec 13 04:35:11 EST 2006

Hi Ravi,

I think error is in 

$returnVal =
$overlayLayer->queryByPoint($myApt,$mapscript->MS_SINGLE,0);
    $resultCache =
$overlayLayer->getResult(returnVal);
because the method
queryByPoint returns MS_SUCCESS or MS_FAILURE, not the index of shape.

You must:
    $returnVal =
$overlayLayer->queryByPoint($myApt,$mapscript->MS_SINGLE,0);
    $numberOfResults =
$overlayLayer->getNumResults;

$overlayLayer->open();
    for
($i=0;$i<$numberOfResults;$i++) {

$resultCache = $overlayLayer->getResult($i);

    $shapeObj =
$overlayLayer->getShape($resultCache->tileindex,$resultCache->shapeindex);
        /* some code with $shapeObj
                ...

...
        */
    }
    $overlayLayer->close();

let me know
Pietro

PS:
Maybe you can help me:
how do you get
the map coordinates of a user's click? (not pixel, cartographic
coordinates).
thanks
