Damien -

Thanks again for your reply... we appreciate your time and any clues you can
provide.

We are beginners with CartoWeb and are definitely interested in CartoClient
only at this stage. However, we would like to add a search function to
locate property parcels based on various criteria and have the map zoom in
to the parcel. Our parcel attribute and spatial data is stored in PostGIS.
We thought the PHP code was the only way to do this, but as you can see,
there are a few "loose ends".

Our project is described to some degree at the following URLs:

http://www.webgisdev.com/webgis/6apro.htm - phase 1
http://www.webgisdev.com/webgis/6bpro.htm - phase 2

Thanks
- Alex
