[ka-Map-users] Point & Query a DB

[Paul Spencer]

Dean,

there is currently no query capability in the open-source ka-Map, 
largely because every need for queries ends up being different.  It is 
relatively easy to implement a query capability for any particular need, 
but I don't plan on adding a generic one unless someone contributes it.

You can implement a query using mapscript by creating a php (or any 
other script language) script that loads the right map file and queries 
the point you have clicked on.

Cheers

Paul
