You want to add, delete and update geographic features (points, lines and 
polygons) inside a mapserver application; do I get it right, I am not sure ?
Mapscript allows you to do all that (and more). I build several applications 
with editing possibilities with php_mapscript. Some basics ones with html 
interfaces (a bit slow to digitize a big polygon as it reloads the image 
after each digitized vertex); and some more complex ones with java or flash 
interface. It works great, but of course you'll have to go through a little 
bit of code...
