William,
Steve has probably solved your problem but if needed here is a quick Perl
example that was created to test 4.6.1 is:
#
# Open the specified shapefile.
$shapefile = new mapscript::shapefileObj($file, -1) or die "Unable to open
shapefile $file";
#
# Place the nth shape into the shape object for analysis.
$shapefile->get($i, $shape);
#
# Take the existing shape and buffer it.
$geosbuff = $shape->buffer($buffit);
#
# Set the bounds of the new shape.
$geosbuff->setBounds();
#
# Now operate using the new buffered shape.
# Including queryByShape( mapObj map, shapeObj shape )
$result = $layer->queryByShape($map, $geosbuff)
#
# ...

Dear Lowell Filak:
Yes, I am very interested in using mapscript. I am working more with java, but if the example is with php I can understand
Thank's

Hello:
It is possible to create buffer around a vector feature? and use the buffer to select the features insight the buffer?
Does someone have a working example?
Thank you in advance
William,
You can do all of that with SWIG MapScript except select "within", it only
does a "passthru" method.
I can dig up a sample if you are interested in using MapScript.
Lowell
