[OpenLayers-Users] php gml export example

[Nicholas Efremov-Kendall]

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for your note. I'm afraid I have to reinvent the wheel. My issue is
that my hands are tied with regard to what software I can use. I wouldn't
even bother with GML if I could use Geoserver or Mapserver. I'm developing
for a university which doesn't want to give us a VPS and won't let me use
anything besides Jscript, Php, and Mysql. Initially they had suggested an
entirely clientside solution. I had initially developed using PGsgl and
Mapserver, and now I'm trying to build more or less the same functionality
without Mapserver (or an equivalent piece of the software) as the keystone.

The issue is I have a point file that has a number of many-to-one
relationships, which should be filterable through search parameters (i.e.
SELECT _type, _phase, etc FROM Sites Where X Like Y). There are only some
400 points total, and If I could load them all and hide and reveal them
based on user input, that might work as well. I was envisioning individual
site markers as well based on attributes, but that might not happen by the
time it goes live.
