[maplab-users] Search an object in a map

[publi at infonegocio.com]

Hi all,
    I have done an application with mapserver and works perfectly, but i 
have to include a text box. The client could input a name of a street 
and click to search. Mapserver must do a search in a map and if it exist 
must do zoom in to the point. I'm using a point shapefile with OGR.
I have included a textbox in MyApp_contents.php with the next code:

<form action="/www/htdocs/maplab/projects/gmf_apps/MyApp/MyApp.php" 
method="post">
<p> Introduzca calle: <input type="text" name="name" size="20">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search"> </p>
</form>

How can i find a point in a map, and do zoom in to it? Where can find a 
tutorial about this?. Thanks to all.
