[Mapserver-users] automatic extension of map-file with dynamic layers?

[Frieso ter Haseborg]

Hi,
 
I'm working on a PHP/MapScript-component for drawing different dynamic
(point-)layers in a map. Point-coordinates and annotation data are
retrieved from a RDBMS. There are different classes of objects to be
drawn, each class should be an own layer. 
 
My problem: The user of the RDBMS-app can add new classes, so I need to
create a new layer also. But AFAIK every single layer has to be listed
in the map-file. And I don't want my end-users doing manual
modifacations on the map-file!
 
Is there any (build-in) way to do this extension of the map-file
automatically?
 
TIA,
