[ms4w-users] queryByShape() without results

[Ludwig Kniprath]

Hello list,
I'm using ms4w (MapServer version 4.10.0) with phpMapscript on postGIS-Data. 
I try to use a selection on a featurtheme (polygon), optionally buffer the resultshapes and use the shapes for a spatial query on another featuretheme (points e.g. query all supermarkets within a selected municipality).

Code (simplified):

$query_map = ms_newMapObj($query_map_file_path);
$query_map->setSize($_GET['new_map_width'],$_GET['new_map_height']);
$query_map->setExtent($_GET['old_extent_left'], $_GET['old_extent_bottom'], $_GET['old_extent_right'], $_GET['old_extent_top']);
$query_map->preparequery();
$query_map_image = $query_map->prepareImage();
$source_layer = $query_map->getLayerByName("Gemeindegebiete");
$target_layer = $query_map->getLayerByName("Sonderbauwerke");
$source_layer->open();
$query_shape = $source_layer->getShape(-1, 19);
$query_shape->draw($query_map, $source_layer, $query_map_image);
$query_result = $target_layer->queryByShape($query_shape);


Problem is, that queryByShape (or whichShapes() + nextShape() as alternative) gives no results, allthough there *are* some points within that polygon.
"Warning: [MapServer Error]: msQueryByShape(): No matching record(s) found..."

Hint:
"Manufacturing" a rectangular $query_shape with 
$query_shape = ms_shapeObjFromWkt("POLYGON((2511877 5622343,2511877 5629144,2518548 5629144,2518548 5622343,2511877 5622343))");
has the same problems...


Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help...
