All,

It’s probably because it’s Tues. but I think I’ve asked this before in the past 
. . .

I have a DB with PIN numbers for PARCELS and I want to be able to 
auto-zoom(with buffer)  to a PARCEL by just sending in a PIN number via CGI.

can the BBOX be pulled from the DB based on the geom in one shot?  I’ve done 
this in the past with a Webservice that went and grabbed the BBOX separately, 
then assembled the url for getting the graphic back from Mapserver.

Bobb,

What are you trying to zoom? the image or the client?

If it is the client then how is mapserver on the server supposed to tell the client it needs to zoom? You have to query the server to get the bbox then make the client zoom appropriately.

For the image, assuming you want a static image showing the parcel, then I would write a php/python/perl script the you pass the PIN to and it does the work to figure out the extents and return the image.
