[Mapserver-users] WMS Solution: PHP/Mapscript vs CGI?

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

Hi,

An alternative would be to use your client to add new layers dynamically,
instead of MapServer.

list:

My application should be WMS compliant, both server and client. Obviously
Mapserver CGI is good choice, simple and powerful for WMS server. actually I
already set it up, and it works well. But I also need to the functionility
to intergrate layers from other WMS-compliant instance. One approach is to
add new layers dynamically, whose CONNECTIONTYPE should be WMS, to local
mapfile (my local server as cascading WMS) when users choose layers from
other WMS instance like Maplab's Mapbrowser. 
The problem is:
It seems that with Mapserver CGI I cannt add new layers to mapfile
on-the-fly. Is it right? 
If so, should I turn to PHP/Mapscript? But I didnt find any instance that
use PHP/Mapscript as WMS server. Is there any tutorial, demo or how-to on
set up WMS server by PHP/Mapscript?  

Thanks in advance!
