[Mapserver-users] Dynamic Features

[Jonathan Mangano]

I have probably been too vague so here is some more info on what I have and what I am trying to do.

I already have a database full of gps coordinates for varies vehicles and
can load this data through java (the information is already used on a J2EE
website) or using PHP. I have a working mapserver running on apache 
with php4 installed. So far I have successfully displayed maps and with a 
number of layers. The difficulty I am having is dynamically placing points 
on a map to show where a vehicle is using the gps coordinates I have. I 
have gone through all the php mapscript tutorials I could find and have not found an example of this. I did find a perl example in this forum but 
couldn't get it to show the points.

Does anyone have a link to a short tutorial or example that would explain 
how I can (probably using php) create a points layer place points at 
various lat/lon coordinates and display it with associated map layers?

Thanks

I am building a fleet management system that track moving vehicles using gps. I need to add mapping functionality but am new to the gis world and am having difficultly finding a starting point. Are there any mapserver tutorials that go through adding dynamic features to a map?

Thanks
