Hi, Mike:
=20
Wow, that's a loaded question. Unfortunately, there is no clear answer.
Perhaps start here:
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/php_mapscript/php_mapscript_faq.htm
l?

You should definitely subscribe to the MapServer's users list, if you
don't already, and certainly use their Wiki and search their archives.
=20
I found Maplab a wonderful place to start learning about MapServer and
PHP, but I stepped out of the Maplab world once I began to do dynamic
and ad-hoc stuff. Following gmap and rosa is handy (from Maplab), but
I'd say the best place is to take a simple .php and .map and then look
at the README inside your MapServer (./mapscript/php3/README). Caution:
make sure you are looking at the right references for your particular MS
version.
=20
I don't do URL overloading, but I'm sure you could do almost anything by
pulling off the args.
=20
Sorry so vague, but looking at examples from the MapServer users list is
probably your best bet. At least it worked for me.

Subject: [maplab-users] PHP/Mapscript
=20
Hello,
=20
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.
=20
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.
=20
I appreciate any help that can be offered.
=20
Kind regards,
Mike
