Carlo,<br><br>If you are already using mapscript in some form (perl, PHP etc), I think it is *possible* to perform editing with MapServer. WFS wouldn't need to be employed if you're doing this with your own data, and within a Mapserver only environment.
<br><br>Something you'd have to decide is... on the client end, would you be drawing the shape with the client side? Or do you expect to have server calls and map refreshes between every mouse click? Do you need to see a node move?
<br><br>Either way, the MapServer side of things is the same. You can create a feature in a new layer as points, lines etc... and then when you are done, you can save as a shapefile on the server. What you do with it after that is again up to you. For editing points - you have to get a shape, get it's line, and then get the point object for that node. I havn't tried this - it's just from looking at the mapscript class guide.
<br><br>For modifying features, I suspect that using SVG/Canvas (newest Firefoxes) or VML (IE) would greatly enhance the tool and make it user-friendly on the client end. To me, this side of things is more difficult.<br>

Hi Carlo,<br><br>As far as I know WFS in MapServer is restricted to non-transactional WFS (client/server), so it's not possible to add editing capabilities I think.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Hilbert<br><br> -----Oorspronkelijk bericht-----

<br><br><br><br> Hello everybody,<br> I make use of mapserver 4.6 and pmapper (a graphic tool written in<br> mapscript/javascript) as a web client. It works very well. Now I would<br> like to add editing capabilites, but I have no idea how to achieve this
