[mapserver-users] Printing from MapServer with parameters?

[kreshna_iceheart at yahoo.com]

Hi, sorry for the newbie question again. I need to
print from MapServer (using a Print button on the web
page), but I need to:
1) specify the paper size (A3, A4, etc)
2) specify the map area size to be printed
3) specify which layer(s) to be printed

Thus, I will need to print and pass the necessary
parameters that will affect how the map will be
printed.

The problem is, I'm a newbie, and I'm completely
unfamiliar with PHP Map Script.

a) can I just use "standard" Map Server CGI parameters
and using JavaScript to print? But if that's the case,
can I specify which layer(s) to print if I'm printing
that way?

b) or should I use PHP Map Script for the purpose?

c) anyone has sample codes to share, please?

Many thanks,
-Kresh
