[mapserver-users] mapserver example application

[Puneet Kishor]

Friends,

I have a mapserver/php/mapscript/mysql application available to the list for
public viewing consumption at

http://209.83.8.226/p/php/index.php

please log in as 'public' using the password 'public' (no quotes, of
course).

Please note, the application was done for a client who have graciously
allowed me to show the application to the mapserver list. Some data have
been obfuscated.

(I have tried to obfuscate the client's name from the application as well,
however, I might have missed some places (I'm not good at this stuff)... so,
if you discover their identity...) Please respect their privacy by not
sending them any questions in this regard.  Direct them to me instead.

The server is an aging computer, so it may be down on occassion. I will try
to keep it going as much as I can.

The application works only with IE (on Win or Mac) because of heavy use of
dhtml. I would like to enhance the app to work with Mozilla, but that will
be in time.

The code for the application is very complicated and messy, but if there is
interest I will be happy to share specific snippets reformatted for general
consumption. Just let me know.

Please send your comments, gripes, bug reports, feedback to me. Your
feedback would be very welcome and appreciated.

Many thanks,

Puneet.

Things to note...

You will a tabbed interface with three tabs. The default tab will be "Map".
If you search, the results will be shown in the "Search Results" tab which
will become default (however, you won't be able to search because you don't
know what to search for... you can try a few address searches). The search
box is designed to take names, tax ids, or street addresses, and uses my
acme regexp mechanism to automagically figure out what you want to search
for... anyway... try a few addresses (once you zoom in you should be able to
see street names).

The legend and the layer controls are shown in the "Legends" tab. There is
an option to save a map you are viewing, and you can later retrieve the map.


There is also an option to build a map for printing purpose.
