[Mapserver-users] Generate map file from shape file

[Eduardo Patto Kanegae]

Take a look at Thuban ( http://thuban.intevation.de ) and QGIS ( seek it 
at http://freegis.org ).

QGIS can export a layout to UMN MapFile.

I can't remember now if Thuban can export it now, but if not, it's 
already planned to do it in
a near future.

depending of what you want a good way could be writing a PHP script that 
browse, list, search... your shapefiles
and generates MapFiles ( using PHPMapScript) or generating only parts of 
a MapFile.

best,
