Hi,

here are a lot of examples for symbol-definitions and using them in the mapfile: https://mapserver.org/mapfile/symbology/construction.html

I intend to create 32 point symbols by varying the color,

you'll need only one symbol-definition. assign the color in the mapfiles style-section.


I have a suspicion that I should use mapscript to assign the symbols to each data range from php, for example, if the range is between 0-1.99, strong red symbol, 2.00-3.99 light red symbol...

this is done bei the EXPRESSION within the class-section
see https://mapserver.org/mapfile/class.html


I'm doing this in qgis, and each shapefile has a different set of data in range, this makes me think that I should calculate the quantiles from the shapefile data and then assign the color symbols using php and mapscript to create the .map file

you can do the classification in qgis and use the extension 'GeoCat Bridge' to create the layer-sections of your mapfile.
