I believe you are looking for the 'setFilter' function.
$layer_object->setFilter("name='greece'");
Anything you put in the filter is like specifying it in a SQL WHERE.
This is the same as doing:
SELECT the_geom FROM europe_country WHERE name='greece';
You can specify more than one constraint in the filter, such as:
$layer_object->setFilter("name='greece' AND
i_should_have_searched_google=TRUE");
