You might want to reconsider how your script is built.  Instead of
loading up the Mapfile and tweaking small parameters with MapScript,
consider converting your mapfile to a template language.  This way you
can forumulate the mapfile, load it as a string, do the appropriate
substitutions, then use PHP to serve it as WxS.

This usually ends up being faster, easier to maintain, and more
flexible over the long term.
