Ive asked this question several times already, but have never received a useful response. If there are any php-mapscript experts reading this, please help...
Im trying to create an imagemap based on an html template and a "points" layer, which uses an ogr/mysql connection to query a database table and retrieve a set of points. It's based on a combination of the following two examples: http://mapserver.org/input/vector/mysql.html?highlight=ovf http://mapserver.org/output/imagemaps.html?highlight=imagemap As described in the 2nd example, I can access successfully access my imagemap html& png output using a url like the following: http://myurl/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=myfile.map&mode=nquery&searchmap=true The problem is that I want to use php-mapscript, instead of using the cgi-bin url. The main reasons for this are to be able to post-process the raw imagemap html code & control how & when the html and the png image are sent back to the user's browser. I tried doing this: //Read & draw the map file $map = ms_newMapObj("myMapFile.map"); $img=$map->draw(); //pass the resulting map png's url back //to the html template through $tmparray variable $tmparray["img_url"] = $img->saveWebImage(); //Process the query template $html=$map->processquerytemplate($tmparray); //Now, echo or process the raw html as necessary echo $html; This almost seemed to work. The 'processquerytemplate()' function *did* return the imagemap html, but the actual data points from my layer were absent in the html; i.e., there were no 'area' tags in the imagemap code, so the imagemap was empty. However, my layer WAS correctly executing the mysql/ogr data query & drawing my points, as the points WERE visible in the png output. So the basic question is: How do I go about correctly processing the template using php-mapscript, so that the data from my points layer will be included in the imagemap html? I hope this is the info you'll need to help figure this out. Please let me know if you have questions, or if I need to include more details. Thanks again, P.Romero _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
