The information for PHP is easily accessible.  PHP runs on practically 
everything from Win95-WinXP, Linux, Unix, and Others.  You don't have to 
purchase a runtime license.  PHP has ~1200 functions at your disposal 
including the MapServer functions.  

PHP is easier to use.  (Opinion big time)

Look at http://www.php.net for the full manual online in different formats.



Opens a database for use and runs a query on said database. Full code.

Do you have any other questions?
