Pavel,
One approach would be to create a symbol file in PHP, then load it using:
(mapObj function description from mapserver PHP/Mapscript docs)
int setSymbolSet(string fileName)
Load and set a symbol file dynamictly.
Alternatively, you may be able to simply set your map file at the beginning,
then write to it via PHP (maybe you would have one file that contained stock
symbols, then create your symbol file by copying the stock symbol files, and
appending the dynamically generated ones).
Good luck! If you create any code snippets, I would be interested in seeing
them.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Creation symbols in PHP Mapscript on the fly
Hi,
is possible to set up on the fly this type of symbol only in PHP or have I to
save it into symbol file?
Symbol
Name '45'
Type TRUETYPE
Font "vera-bold"
Character "45"
Antialias TRUE
END
I was trying some things described on
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/phpmapscript-class/classes/symbolobj
but I feel i miss something important.
I need this symbols because I'm using numbered points with numbers in the
middle of those points.
Regards
Pavel
