FYI the mapserv CGI also has support for ROSA applet parameters, see at 
the bottom of this page:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/cgi/controls

Unfortunately that documentation doesn't include usage examples so you'd 
have to figure the way to setup your mapserv CGI template yourself.

With respect to ROSA with PHP MapScript, there is the good old GMap demo 
app that uses both. Not the best example of good coding, but at least 
that's something to get started. You can download the GMap demo with all 
scripts and data at http://dl.maptools.org/dl/gmap-ms46.zip and you can 
see it online at http://www.mapsherpa.com/gmap/
