[Chameleon] Querying dynamic built layers pt.2

[Ken Sanderson]

Hello all. Well thanks to David's post I made some good headway, but 
still stuck on how the query widget is responding.

Since the query widget was erroring I decided to see if my code was 
working at all. I took the code I posted earlier, which you can find 
below, and made it stand alone (used a newly created map object and put 
it completely oustide of chameleon) I added the following to the bottom:

*********
$pt2 = ms_newPointObj();
$pt2->setXY($pointsarray[20][2],$pointsarray[20][3]);
$poLayer->queryByPoint($pt2,MS_MULTIPLE,0);

$result = $poLayer->getResult(0);
echo "this is the index:" . $result->shapeindex;
*********

This works as it should, it reads the shapeindex value that I have set. 
So back to the chameleon query widget and its error. Its breaking on 
line 496 of the map_query.php, specifically:

$oShape = $oLayer->getShape($oResult->tileindex, $oResult->shapeindex);

and the error it sends me is:

Fatal error: [MapServer Error]: msINLINELayerGetShape(): No inline 
feature with this index.

If I replace $oResult->shapeindex with a number, say 10 (I know my 
search returns 28 records so any value 27 or under will work), the query 
responds and the result lists the shapeindex value as -1.  I have gone 
over the code in map_query.php and it looks like its doing the same 
thing as I did in my test script. Create a point object, send point to 
querybypoint, get the result, and then use the shapeindex property of 
result to retrieve the index.

My thinking is that $oResult->shapeindex is returning a value of -1 or 
null which is causing the getShape to fail. The question is why is it 
not reading the index value I have set and instead returning the -1?

Any thoughts appreciated.
