Hello,

I'm trying to get started with a MapServer installation using
PHP/MapScript.  I have the latest 3.6 dev version of MapServer,
MapScript and MapLab - and they seem to work fine for me.  I'm also
trying to see if I can get MapServer 3.7 with the corresponding
MapScript dev working.  In either case, I have a PHP mapping interface
that was created using GMapFactory in the MapLab 2.0.

I'm trying to configure it so I can change the appearance of the map on
the fly.  As an example, I'd like to add different colour classes to a
shapefile or PostGIS layer based on one of its attributes.  Can anyone
make some suggestions on how to get started?  I've been picking through
the PHP code, and in general I understand it, but I don't really know
how to make changes, or what can be done with they way it's currently
setup.  Can I simply pass arguments through the URL to add colour
classes?  Perhaps someone might have some examples of modified versions
of the default scripts created by GMapFactory.

I appreciate any help that can be offered.

Kind regards,

Mike
