PHP-Mapscript question

Dear people,

Mapserver is a great toy. Iit's the first time I am doing GIS in a project 
and after looking around for quite some while, I decided to try 
mapserver.

But I've got some troubles, of course.

I am using php-mapscript (I hope this is the right list ?)
and I would like to use a basic mapfile and then add dynamic data to it.

In this instance I have a shapefile with 483 cities, but the .dbf file 
only has their name and number of inhabitants. Now I'd like to add a 
score to it, which I retrieve live from a mysql database. The score can 
be 1-7, depending on some questionaires that citizens filled in. Goal is 
to color the cities different according to their score.

I tried modifying the 'values' from the shapeObj(ects) but these are 
readonly. I do *not* want to wrtie a .dbf file with the dynamic data to 
disk, not do I want to use Postgress or Oracle or wait for mysql spatial 
extentions. 

Anyone can point me in the right direction !?

Grateful, as always,

Ace
