So "Jeff are you the phpmapscript guy?" was a question to the entire
list? And that entire thread was to the entire list?
Come on.

Hi jeff,
Sorry jeff. I thought I was using the list! Your message confirms my worst fear. That Steve Lime's
open source mapserver is being proprietized. Sort of reminds me of Bell Labs claim to unix after
thousands of people gave freely to develop it. I was wondering why it has become so hard to get
decent answers to simple questions about mapserver, and why the docs are sssooooo thin. And why
else would you say 'no' with a grin?
Cheers,

Since you seem to want direct support for MapServer, you should know
that our company offers exactly that
(http://www.dmsolutions.ca/premiere/index.html). At least now you
know how we stay in business :)
Otherwise please use the email lists.

No worries. I have just been trying to grab attribute values for shapes
when getting the imagemap coordinates using the imagemap outputformat
driver. I get the coordinates alright, but have failed to figure out
the method for getting the attributes. I am guessing grabbing the
attributes is tied together with grabbing the shape coords because,
well, I don't know why the coords are interesting without the attributes.
Unfortunately I have not been able to spend enough time yet with
Mapserver to call myself a power user, so I seek the help of those that
are. I'd be happy to document my findings so as to assist others that
are interested in utilizing imagemaps with phpmapscript.
The imagemap works great, I really like it. But grabbing the attributes
has me stumped. There must be someone that knows how to properly set up
the map file to generate the attribute data when the coords are being
mapped.
Any direction on examples or someone that might know would be greatly
appreciated.
