A 'simple' query question- php/mapscript/mysql?

Folks,
	I've searched high and low, up and down, but I'm stumped.  I've got a 
simple dataset, 1000 points or so, with 10 attributes, running in 
MapServer.  It's so small I can attach them to a shapefile.dbf and use them 
directly in the Nquery, Itemnquery, etc. to produce searches and output to 
tables (so far so good).

'All' I want to do is have the user search from two attributes (or more), 
to produce a map with only these results, e.g. counties and population. In 
fact, the exact example I'd like to follow is in the search part of:
<http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/english/ins/epncurrent/keytoepn.html>

but this uses ArcIMS.

I 'think' the mapscript/php/mysql route seems the most profitable, but any 
any help, advice (short of buying ArcIMS), would be gladly appreciated.

Cheers,

David.
