[Mapserver-users] Global projection query

Hi all,

A thorny projection related question.

I have a couple of very coarse scale images (hemisphere scale) which are in
global projections. One is in polar stereographic, the other in straight
Mercator projection (not UTM).

The nearest equivalents that I can find in the EPSG codeset are EPSG:9804
(Mercator) and EPSG:9810 (Polar Stereographic).

Neither of these two codes are in the list of EPSG codes supported by proj4
- as far as I can tell anyway! I presume that I can simply enter the
projection information itself into the projection object in my map file, but
I'm not really sure where to start in terms of the additional parameters.
Projections were never my strong point!

Hope someone can give me a hand!

Matt.
