Hi,

Try out this nice code. I think it is extrapolable to any kind of shape, just 
adding more lines to the shp object.

Regards. Juan M. Merlos


This is the layer definition.
  LAYER
    GROUP "user"
    NAME "lines"
    METADATA
        "label" "0,0 como la San Miguel"
        "symbol_" "phone.png"
    END #metadata
    TYPE line
    STATUS on
#    FEATURE 
#     POINTS 0.0 0.0 3.0 3.0 4.5 4.0 END
#    END
   CLASS
       NAME "0"
       TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html"
       STYLE
         COLOR 255 0 0 # red
         MAXSIZE 300 # default 50
         SIZE 16
       END #style
   END #class
   TOLERANCE 8 
   TOLERANCEUNITS pixels #pixels|feet|inches|kilometers|meters|miles|dd
  END #layer

<?php

dl('php_mapscript.so');
//dl('php_mapscript_42.dll'); //For WinDoS Users

//Convert pixels to map units got from PHPMapscriptSnippet1
function click2map ($click_x, $click_y) {
    global $map;
    $e= &$map->extent; //Tip for saving typing time
    $x_pct = ($click_x / $map->width);
    $y_pct = 1 - ($click_y / $map->height);
    $x_map = $e->minx + ( ($e->maxx - $e->minx) * $x_pct);
    $y_map = $e->miny + ( ($e->maxy - $e->miny) * $y_pct);

    return array($x_map, $y_map);
}


// --------------- MAIN -----------------------

$map= ms_newMapObj('data/test2.map');

//Avoid register global=on;
import_request_variables("gP", "");

//Convert pixels to map units
$map_pt = click2map($_POST['image_x'],$_POST['image_y'],$map->extent);

//Construct the line
$line = ms_newLineObj();
$line->addXY($map_pt[0],$map_pt[1]);
if (is_array($prev_x)) {
    foreach ($prev_x as $i => $x){
        $line->addXY($x, $prev_y[$i]);
    }
}


$shp = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_LINE);
$shp-> add($line);

$layer = $map->getLayerByName('lines');
//$layer->open();
$layer->addFeature($shp);

//Draw the map and add the point
$img = $map->draw();
//$pt->draw($map, $layer, $img, 0 ,'yuhuu');
$url = $img->saveWebImage();

//Now add hidden fields to the form


for($i=0;$i<$line->numpoints;$i++) {
    $pt = $line->point($i);
    $x = $pt->x;
    $y = $pt->y;
    $HTML_HIDDEN.="<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"prev_x[$i]\" value=\"$x\"/>";
    $HTML_HIDDEN.="<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"prev_y[$i]\" value=\"$y\"/>";
