[mapserver-users] MapScript resultsGetShape confusion [solved!]

[Alan Boudreault]

Not sure why it is required with a PostGIS layer, but it shouldn't. In PHP, -1 
is passe when the tileindex is not specified. Please fill a bug and assign it 
to "aboudreault", I'm going to take a look.

Thanks,
Alan
