[fusion-users] Passing username, password, db, and host to MapServer

[Paul Deschamps]

Hi Bernhard,

To my knowledge none of the fusion widgets connect to any database. Are you
asking how you would create a FUSION widget that would include some
connection to this database?

All of the widgets would access your postgres layers through php_mapscript
which in turn would call on mapserver to make the connection for it.

Cheers

Paul.
