Since you are new to MapServer (as I was recently) you may want to look at =
the MapLab project. It is a PHP administration tool for MapServer which=20
allows you some ignorance of the details of the map file. If I were to=20
start all over again, I probably would go there. It requires that you=20
have PHP installed on your server (www.php.net). PHP is open-source and th=
erefore free. MapLab can be found at http://www.dmsolutions.ca/maplab. Th=
ese all can implemented on either windows or unix.=20

MapServer has a CGI interface, so clients can be written in any web=20
language. It is possible to create a pure HTML solution, however it will=20
be limited. More commonly JavaScript will be used to create a better=20
dynamic environment. A Java Applet (Rosa) is also available, which could=20
be the fast way to decent environment. MapLab will let you pick what your =
target environment is.
