In addition, rather than using WFS, you could hit the database directly using something like a PHP script. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Perhaps you need to look at something like mapserver or geoserver<br>
<br>
Both of these application are used as part of a web server either
tomcat or apache. The will connect to postgis and provide access to
your table as wms/wfs server.<br>
<br>
You can use something like openlayers to provide any pretty front
end/ drawing of shapes etc.<br>

<div>I am fairly new to PostGIS and I have to work on a project
for my PhD. I hope you can help me. I want to build a web map
where the user can select a building or more than one from a
layer on top of Google Maps API and the code should create an
automatic convex hull from the set of points generated from
the selected polygon(s). I am not sure on what to use but I
have general ideas and I do not know which is the best :</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>
Do I use Google Maps API and PostGIS without needing a WMS
or WFS?</li>
<li>Do I have to use with Google Maps API a WMS or a WFS?</li>
</ul>
<div>And if someone has beneficial samples I can use to build
the website, I would really appreciate it.</div>
</div>

<div>Thank you in advance.</div>
