Khalid,
      You might be better off using GRASS and php with mapserver  .
Gdal_rasterize http://www.gdal.org/gdal_rasterize.html will convert the
shape files to a raster dataset.  See http://grass.itc.it/start.html

Hi,

I am a student and is working on a project which will use MapServer and
PostGIS. I have data in vector format as ESRI compatible shapefiles. My
task is to load data into PostGIS as raster and then to perform overlay
analysis and display map  in web browser through mapserver (on windows
platform).

I am newbie to PostGIS and is trying to load data into PostGIS. I am
wondering if anybody can give me idea/guideline about

a) how should I load data into PostGIS
b) how vector to raster transformation will happen
c) how I will perform overlay analysis using raster data.

Your response is higly appreciated
