Jeff,

World files use projected x/y coordinates. Use the Proj4 library functions (in Mapscript) to project the upper left and lower right spherical lon/lat coordinates to x/y, then use the image size (length, width) to calculate the values for the world file (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_file)

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser

But what is the magic formula for creating world files ??

I have a map of the US with the following projection info
ullat=53.3638
ullon=-130.964
lrlat=18.2977
lrlon=-69.1058
sp1=0
sp2=39
cm=-95.5
rlat=36.5
width=640
height=480
projection=lambert

now how on earth do you figure the meter per pixel??
prefer php, but guess I could convert
