I'm aware of where PHP fits in. I was just trying to make it clear that I've not overlooked the PHP part of the process and don't have any bottlenecks there.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Attached are both of the map files. One is pre processing and post. It looks mostly as I expected. Your input would be greatly appreciated.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I'm open to different approaches. I hear people mention creating their own shape files or modifying their shape files directly. How could I benefit from that? Also I can create dbf files dynamically. I'm guessing I can do a join with those directly from the map file. I don't know if there would be any advantage from that.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>thanks,</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>boice</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><SPAN></SPAN></DIV></BODY></HTML>
