Actually, I would have to defer that to the group... I have not done it
myself.

Cheers,

Joost,
     Do you have a way of querying a dynamic point?  I'm assumeing not since
there is no associated dbf file.  In case a query is needed i guess adding
to a shape file would be needed?
thx,
Paul

You can create a dummy point layer in your map file, then in php query the
database for your points, create new point objects using ms_newPointObj(),
set the XY coordinates, and draw the point on the layer.  If you want some
specific code examples, I can send along snippet.
