Below is a code snippet/////////////////////////////////
$map_path="C:/Program Files/ms4w/apps/wms/";
$map = ms_newMapObj($map_path."ICWMS2.map");
$map->setextent(586892.5,339611.094,593679.063,346206.156);
$image=$map->draw();
$layer = $map->getLayerByName('PARCELS');
$status = $layer->open();
$status = $layer->whichShapes($map->extent);
while ($shape = $layer->nextShape())
{
echo $shape->toWkt();
}
$layer->close();
$image_url=$image->saveWebImage();
echo(" <IMG SRC=$image_url >");
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Below is the layer in the map file//////////////////
LAYER
TYPE POLYGON
STATUS ON
NAME "PARCELS"
FILTERITEM "PIN"
FILTER "84-035-40-001-00"
DATA "Par.shp"
CLASS
STYLE
OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 255
SIZE 4
END
END
END
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
If I remove the FILTER on the layer, the whichshapes code works correctly and returns all the shapes within the extent.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks.

No, just setting the filter in the mapfile should suffice. Do you have a code snippet?

If I have a FILTER and FILTERITEM set in my map file for a layer....when I call a whichshapes on that layer I get zero shapes. Comparatively, if I run a map draw, the FILTER works correctly and draws the shapes that meet the criteria. Do I need to use mapscript to set the filter or something? Thanks

Which shapes applies the layer FILTER definition if it exists. That FILTER must be set prior to calling whichshapes.

The mapscript documentation for the method (LayerObj) whichshapes claims you can quote: "Performs a spatial, and optionally an attribute based feature search." How and where is the attribute based search query included in this method?
