class=885542319-07072008>I am not answering your question - sorry. Instead
I have questions for you. Will Google allow using their maps as a
WMS? Did you get special permission for this? Everything I have read
says this is not allowed from the Google side. I am asking because we would
really like to use Google as a background for our web app also and if this is a
new development then we would be interested in doing it
also. Thanks.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB>I’m using mapserver to overlay png tiles
over a google maps interface and it’s working well. I have a series of shp files
on the server and I want to build a search interface so the user can query the
actual data. An example would be in simple terms: ‘select all data from shp
where layer = ‘thislayer’ and field like ‘%castle%’’.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB>Is it possible to interpret a variable if I
sent it via the Url with the WMS call? For example, I’ll tag on
&TestVar=castle to the WMS call. Can the map file be set up to interpret
TestVar and perform a query against a shp file field in a given
layer?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
