There is nothing to change in your mapfile. All you need to do is edit 
the value of your WMS 'url' parameter in the OpenLayers layer creation 
call to use map=MYMAP in the URL instead of the full path to the mapfile.

There is no PHP or other scripting required. All the magic for this is 
already built into MapServer.
