Joost,
     Do you have a way of querying a dynamic point?  I'm assumeing not =
since there is no associated dbf file.  In case a query is needed i =
guess adding to a shape file would be needed?
thx,
Paul

    You can create a dummy point layer in your map file, then in php =
query the database for your points, create new point objects using =
ms_newPointObj(), set the XY coordinates, and draw the point on the =
layer.  If you want some specific code examples, I can send along =
snippet.
