I have developed an application which displays several dynamic layers in pmapper all integrated with the legend and toc and they interact with some custom plugins that I have developed. Furthermore the layers available and filtering on these layers is determined by the user.
The aproach I took was to write some php code that customises the config files including the map file and then launches pmapper with the custom config. Sorry I cant give you the code as it 'belongs' to my employer but i can give you an idea of how it works. First the user logs in to the system and the code queries the database (postgresql) and determines what layers are available and what filters to apply. The layers are read from a default mapfile the data statement is customised to provide filtering and then a new custom mapfile is written. The php_config file is customised for the categories and the config_.. file is also customised with allGroups and defGroups definitions. Pmapper is then launched.
