Yes, you can use PHP mapscript to do a point spatial query. http://mapserver.org documentation explains how to use it.

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
