Very thanks for your fast answer, Mr. Brent Fraser.
I want to create a points using openlayers to describes realtime GPS
tracking.
But i want to insert the openlayers script into web tempate of the
mapfile, can i do that?
Yes, but in most (all?) implementations OpenLayers is loaded only once
into your browser. It then makes requests to mapserver for data (i.e an
image on every pan and zoom). In the "old" way (without OpenLayers or
some similar JavaScript/Java package) of configuring mapserver,
mapserver would deliver HTML, images, etc to render the entire interface
on every pan and zoom. I don't think many people use it this way
anymore since browsers are a lot more capable, but you can configure it
this way if you really want to.
Have a look at the OpenLayers examples. Use your browser's debugging
tool to see the conversation between OpenLayers and mapserver.
Note to Mapserver documenters: we need to update the Mapserver
Introduction (especially the "Anatomy...") to show the more modern AJAX
style implementation.
If it were possible, what the effect when I zoom the map?
Thanks for attention & your kindness

Gozali,
Due to the dynamic nature of the data, a spatial relational database
such as PostGIS would be a good choice for the data storage. The
tables would depend on which features are important to you (positions,
tracks, etc).
Populating the tables from GPS data would likely require some custom
coding.
There were a couple of sessions at FOSS4G 2007:

Hi friends. I plan to create a map that can display the GPS tracking
dynamically.
For the best choice, what is needed to make GPS tracking dynamically
using MapServer? Please guide.
Thank you so much for your explanations and your kindness.
