[mapserver-users] How to use 01 connection for all layers in map file

[Mr. Bic Phuong]

Your reply is really good news,

Will you please to tell me details on details how can I do like you with a map file which has more than 17 connection now?

I do not understand yet clearly how to use "single" MapServer layer for all?

Thanks so much and I hope you can help me more!

Hope I get your question right.

We have around 32 layers in one of the project, the approach is rather
simple, you just use a "single" Mapserver layer so there is always 1
request to Mapserver from OpenLayers. The request layer is the
combination of all your layers, the overlaying is made server side.

Details:
1. We have a custom "layer switcher" that user selects what layers he
wants to see and this data is saved, in a php session for example.
2. Then the user requests a map from a PHPMapscript(mapserver) server,
using php you fetch all the layers selected by the user previously
3. Dispatch the result
