Simple question

[James Sohr]

This is my personal opinion, but I think the best way to get rid of the
temporary images is to never create them in the first place.

You can configure the mapserver CGI executable to output just a map image
straight to the web browser (intead of it generating a temp image and
outputting an HTML file).  You can then use a plain HTML (or PHP or
whatever other language you'd like) page that wraps around the image and
is responsible only for passing paramaters to the MapServer CGI and
updating the map image.

Thus, you create no temp images, and there is no need to reload the whole
page to update the map-- you only need to reload the map image.

This is how most of the major map websites do it...
