Mapscript Zoom Level Help Solved, but new question

Ok.  I figured out my last question.  Apparently, I needed to have a zoomscale instead of a zoompoint.  What I also discovered is that zoomscale needed to be set right before I said map->draw.  If I copied and pasted $map->zoomscale($zoomscale, $centerpoint, $mapwidth, $mapheight, $utmextent); to where I originally had it (right under where I say $map->setSize()), then the zoomscale won't work.  But, if I move it to where I said earlier, it works.  Where I originally had the line was after I had $zoomscale, $centerpoint, $mapwidth, $mapheight, and $utmextent declared and set to something - so why that is I don't know.

If someone knows that would be great help.  I'm just curious that's all.  

Also, what's the point of map->zoompoint()?  From my understanding of the Mapscript API, you could pick a point on the image according to 0, 0 (being the x, y coordinates from the upper left corner), give it the image width and height and the current extent along with an integer representing zoom level and BAM - there you go.  But, nothing happened when I kept giving a different value of zoom level (1, -1, 2, -10, etc.).  If I comment out the zoompoint too, it doesn't change a thing.  I assume I misinterpreted something?
