Hello to all, especially PHP-Mapscript users:
Apologies for asking the same question twice, but I got no responses to the
below and I am still stuck on both problems. Very happy to receive some help
on either but especially the first one..
Chris

Subject: [mapserver-users] php-Mapscript and MySQL layer syntax
Hi to all
I am using PHP5-Mapscript together with Mapserver 6.0 and I have a layer
which obtains its data from a MySQL database via an OGR connection. This all
works, but I am having trouble with two items of PHP-Mapscript syntax:
1. $layer-getExtent() - I can't make this work with my layer: can
someone confirm if it works with a MySQL layer and if so give a syntax
example?
2. $query= $layer-queryByAttributes(null, $expression, MS_MULTIPLE);
On the 2nd question I came across some advice from Frank Wamerdam dated 2006
which said:
The trick with OGR connections to pass the filter through to OGR is to use
a query expression starting with WHERE. So you might do something like:
expr = 'WHERE ' + $qField + ' = ' + $qValue
$qLayer-queryByAttributes(null,$expr,MS_MULTIPLE);
(forgive my incorrect PHP syntax, I'm just trying to get the idea accross).
However I can't come up with any expression that gives me any results at
all. Is there any current advice on how to do this kind of query over an OGR
connection?
