<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not sure to well understand what you want to
do. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What sort of data do you need from your database ?
and what for ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you want to create a small application for
managing maps and data, for sure Mapserver cannot do the whole thing. You'll
need to code a few in PHP for example to do what you want. But yes you may
retreive some data via the mapfile, for example if you want to display
attributes of a shape as a label....</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV id=RTEContent> Hi ,<BR><BR>Wanted to know if what we're thinking is
rite :: There is not much difference between using Mapserver CGI directly or
using Mapserver with Php scripting . The only diff we see is that using Php
Mapscripting u can script in Php with HTML.Hence for creating dynamic maps ,
even if Mapscripting modules are not used is it sufficient ?<BR><BR>Also
if i have to read data from MySql and use it in Mapserver , will it be done
with the help of CONNECTION strings (in layers in the map file)
?<BR><BR>Thanking You ,<BR>Apeksha<BR></DIV>
