Hi Gail,
No apologies necessary!  Just let me know how I can improve it for others in the future or others who are more like you.  I appreciate any feedback I can get no matter whether the holes are major, minor, sweeping or personal.  But thanks for clarifying.  

The MapScript examples in the book are fairly simple ones.  I did do up some more in-depth examples for the upcoming book PHP Hacks - so keep your eye out for that title. (Not sure when it's due).
