center point using data from PostGIS

[Yannick Doiron]

Hi list,

I am using MapServer CGI 4.2 on window XP with PostGIS data connect to it.

I'a using the code below to center the map on a point choosed by the user
from a select list.

<select name="ViewEmploye" id=emp onchange="employe();" size="1">
<option value="-1">Employes</option>
<option value="-1">-------------</option>
<option value="359877 5276306"> Annelle Duguay </option>
<option value="336655 5297926"> Thérèse Haché </option>
<option value="357748 5295074"> Yannick Doiron </option>
</select>

I want to be able to get the coordinate from a PostGIS database instead of
writing it like the code above. I was able to import my data in PostGIS and
see it with MapServer. I know I will have to use PHPMapscript. I have it
install and working (I have the ms4w package from maptools.org installed)
but I am not very good php programming.

Can somone lead me at a tutorial or else on how to achieve this? If this
was asked and answered in the past, please forward me the link.

Thanks in advance,
Yannick
