Adding user specific layers(dynamically)

Currently i'm working on a way to provide the user the possibility to 
define his own layer in mapserver.

Basically this means that the user can define a sql query and provide a 
theme which defines the way it is shown in the map(the class information 
from the layer)

For this i first tried to make a mapfile which used database values for 
the "keys", apparently this could not be done.
Currently i'm writing a wms-server in php, since i want to add layer 
information to the result(it needs a additional query and style 
parameter that create a new layer, further it just works like a "normal" 
wms-server).

I have the idea that i'm not solving this problem the correct way. Can 
anyone give me some pointers on this?
