Hello,

I have two simple questions for those who know php/mapscript:

-actually first question more about map file. when we write SHAPEPATH =
"data" at the beginning of the file, mapserver goes into "data" to find =
all layer data. Is there a way to get the mapserver to retrieve data for =
each layer from different folders or paths?

-I have a layer like this:

LAYER
  NAME lastpoint
  TYPE point
  DATA lastpoint
  STATUS OFF
   CLASS
    SYMBOL 'circle'
    COLOR 102 255 36
    SIZE 20
     LABEL
      COLOR 0 0 0
     END
   END
END

This layer gets to be called within the php and turned ON. What I want =
to do is to use the same settings for different named layers but without =
rewriting this part multiple times. It is like: the php will get the =
layer by name (lastpoint) but for this layer it will retrieve data from =
firstpoint.shp, firstpoint.shx, firstpoint.dbf

Is there a php code that does this?

Have a nice day:)
