Thanks Prabu. To the MapServer developers/documenters -- On the page provided above, I note 5 instances of "mapxy". Only the following one is vaguely indicative of being useful in queries because of the last three words "User with queries." "MAPXY [x] [y] , MAPXY (shape) A point, in the same coordinate system as the shapefiles, to be used in conjuction with a buffer or a scale to construct a map extent. Can be set to shape as an alternative option. In this case mapextent is set to the extent of a selected shape. Used with queries." I am curious as to how I could have figured out that mode=query combined with mapxy=lng+lat would have been sufficient for querying by point? I do genuinely want to know. Additionally, just below that MAPXY entry, there is the write-up no MODEs. Granted, the text warns that "note that all of the query modes also support map-only modes, e.g. ITEMQUERYMAP, which for brevity are not all listed," where would I read up on mode=tile other than at [http://mapserver.org/output/tile_mode.html], the latter page strangely saying that it is revision 9817 updated on > Date: $Date: 2010-02-20 11:35:53 -0800 (Sat, 20 Feb 2010) $ > Last Updated: 2008/04/30 Hmmmm... > On Sun, Sep 11, 2011 at 8:22 AM, Mr. Puneet Kishor <[email protected]>wrote: > >> >> On Sep 10, 2011, at 9:42 PM, Prabu Raja wrote: >> >>> Try this, >>> >>> http://localhost/cgi-bin/app?layers=layer&mode=query&mapxy=lng+lat >>> >>> where lng = clicked longitude >>> lat = clicked latitude >>> >>> working for me. >> >> >> Neat! it does work.
