[OpenLayers-Users] Openlayer

[Stephen Woodbridge]

I can add a little to Tue's comments.

1. you can look at installing tinyOWS which is part of mapserver.org 
releases, this implements WFS-T

2. alternative this is as Tue has suggested do a getfeatureinfo (WMS 
request) on the feature, and extract the PK. You can then trivially 
write an ajax request in say php, to that you send the PK to to and it 
connects to the postgresql/postgis database and deletes the feature.

Both of these assume that the data layer you want to edit is being 
served from a postgresql/postgis database. You can NOT safely delete 
features from shapefiles.
