[Mapserver-west] gis processing

[Aaron Racicot]

I do geo-processing on the server side by running GRASS from PHP and
using Mapserver on the front end.  I have some examples that I can share
with you, but mainly we are working on some decision support tools to
allow for some real-time GIS analysis over the web.  I can easily see
adding capability to the web to modify layers etc.  Let us know what you
are really trying to do and I could maybe lend some advice.

Mapserver doesnt do that far as I know, not even really sure if that 
should be done by mapserver. You can however do that in a variety of 
other means that work through a web browser, in fact if you look in the 
archives for this list I believe there was some suggestions not to long
ago.
