[mapserver-users] Getting information out of shapefile

[Dean]

Hi,

 

I have a requirement to use PHP to get information from a shapefile.  I was
hoping MapServer/MapScript might be able to do this as Im already using it
to serve custom mapping laid on top of the Google API.

I have a custom shape file (flat file) and I need to be able to query
somehow and have the server tell me what polygons/attributes a certain point
is contained in.

Eg, I send a lat/long to the map server and it returns a list of
polygons/attributes that the lat/long pair is surrounded by.

Is this possible with MapServer/Map0Script?  If not, where should I be
looking to get this kind of query information?

 

Regards

Dean
