  Subject: [Mapserver-users] simple php/mapscript questions

  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:)

  Murat Isik
